Product Description

Synopsis
David Barry's autobiography spans almost five decades of theatre, film and television experience. As a 14 year old he toured Europe with Sir Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh in one of the most prestigious post-war theatre tours. Vivien Leigh took a shine to him and he saw both sides of her close up. One minute she was sweetness and light, and the next she became a screaming harridan as she publicly berated Sir Laurence. In his early twenties, he starred as Frankie Abbott in the hit television sitcoms Please, Sir! and Fenn Street Gang, and those days are recounted with great humour. Hilarious events unfold as he describes working with dodgy producers and touring with argumentative actors. His is a story that covers everything from the pitfalls of working in live television to performing with hard drinking actors. 'Imagine yourself travelling - as a member of the company - with a train-load of top stars to the great cities of Europe.' Daily Express

4.0 out of 5 stars An actors life indeed., 24 April 2006
By Mr. J. Taylor (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Take a moment and have a think of what you were doing when you were a fourteen year old. Well for child actor Meurig Wyn Jones, later to be known as David Barry
the year of 1957 was to become a magical part of this young actors career. Having auditioned and successfully got the part in the production ' Titus Andronicus ' this young
actor was about to engage in a six week tour around such places as Paris, Venice, Belgrade, Zagreb, Vienna ans Warsaw with actors Sir Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh.
This autobiography by David Barry is set in a series of flash backs from the time he spent on tour with Rodney Bewes and Gareth Hunt back in 1998. From these flash backs
David Barry opens a door showing us the real sides to many of the actors and actresses he has worked with. From the mentioned above to the people who acted in
Please Sir! and the Fenn Street Gang where David Barry played Frankie Abbott in the hit television shows. An actors life for me? i'm not to sure, for this autobiography shows that it's not always plain sailing and acting can take its toll. Depression, the abuse of alcohol just to get you through the day, terrible mood swings seem to be almost the norm.
To equal this there are also some very funny and happy times had by all and this is why people enjoy the acting experience and both sides are shown within the pages of the book.
If you are interested in treading the boards so to speak this book is a good eye opener to what life can be like. An enjoyable read indeed.
