That first one is me doing Under Milk Wood for first time at school! Little did I know I’d do it again nearly 40 years later on the Olivier. No chance I’ll do Godspell again. Camelot could be possible I suppose but unlikely. Don’t know what that other one is…

Quite a few times yes. Remember very much enjoying the ET ride. And It’s A Small World of course. The parade too.

I love that it works so directly on your imagination and in a way allows the audience to collaborate much more with the performer in creating what is being described/It’s all difficult!

He would have been a great lover of ‘The Gay Hussar’ in Greek St just round the corner from his bookstore. I’m sure he would have been indulging every chance he got. Sadly no longer with us.

Impossible to choose just one but certainly one of my favourites is – “A dog barks in his sleep, farmyards away.” Also – “In her life-long love-light holily Bessie milks the fond lake eyed cows as dusk showers slowly down over byre, sea and town.”
