About This Book

The author offers episodic memoirs that move from a seaside childhood in a large family through early domestic hardships to a lifelong involvement with the theatre. She recounts stage experiences, roles, tours, and friendships with fellow performers while delivering behind-the-scenes anecdotes and character sketches of contemporaries. Dedicated sections treat wartime service, participation in the suffrage movement, and a collection of personal letters. Interwoven reflections consider creative collaboration and married life with Harry, and illustrations and appendices supplement the practical recollections and portraits of theatrical life.
