Not rambling but brilliant - By: , 10 Jan 2004
Ignore what anyone else might say, Enter a Fox displays alll of Simon Gray's usual wit & simply brilliant writing. Enjoy!
Incomprehensible title for theatrical rambling - By: , 21 Feb 2001
I am a fan of Simon Gray's behind the scenes diaries of his theatrical productions. His book about Stephen Fry's decamping from one of his shows & turning up in Belgium is an irresistibly candid tale of the West End debacle that was Cell Mates, & the fact that the butt of his sometimes caustic jokes is usuallly himself means that he gets away with some bitter & revealing passages. This new book, about the rather less-successful progress of his play The Late Middle Classes, is more rambling & less focused than his previous efforts in this genre. He explains that he is learning how to use a computer as he writes, but this doesn't excuse the sheer inconsequentiality of some of this stuff. Just because you write down every single thought that pops into your head doesn't mean that somebody shouldn't have edited it before actuallly publishing the thing. Nonetheless, there are little gems to be found in amongst the ramblings. Shut up about the dog, though...
