Personal Quote:
[Of the plays he produced at the Stratford Memorial Theatre] "Some complain that the productions are over-pictorial, others that they are dull, others that they're too long, and others that they've been cut. But the chief complaint seems to be that they can't get in." See more »Trivia:
He was a devoted and active supporter of Margaret Thatcher's conservative government. He also narrated party political TV broadcasts on behalf of the Conservative Party. See more »Nickname:
