Critics Review
‘Very funny … Grenfell was one of the finest humorous writers and performers of the 20th century.’
Each one a highly individualistic character-study, not in the least resembling any other figure in the cavalcade. A series of perfect miniatures, etched in exquisite detail. - Theatre World
She had no image to preserve, no axe to grind, no future management to impress. This total lack of “angst” came across the footlights and engendered an atmosphere of extraordinary trust and love, so that audiences under her spell felt safe and cozy and somehow cherished. - Virginia GrahamVery funny … Grenfell was one of the finest humorous writers and performers of the 20th century. - Independent on SundayAbout The Author
Joyce Grenfell
Joyce Grenfell spent her girlhood on the fringes of the famous Cliveden, amongst people such as George Bernard Shaw and Noël Coward. In 1938, she discovered her talent for dramatic monologue when she gave an impromptu imitation of a Women’s Institute speaker. An accomplished actress, she starred in many well-known films, including the St Trinian’s series. She was a regular on television, radio, and the stage, and entertained troops during the war with her wit, charm, and humor. She died in 1979.
