Publishers Description: OToole gives an affectionate, beguiling and, above all, funny account of student the penury, the parties, the money-making schemes (balloon selling, constructing toy motor cars), the pubs, the potential of unwashed knickers to breed and, of course, the work. He takes his readers with him into Stretcher Fletchers torturous ballet classes, into Miss Boalths movement class in which OToole drifted as a bubble while Albert Finney spun about as a leaf. We shirl through the rehearsals, performances, the successes and the flops. OToole points out the influences that turned the erstwhile sailor into the internationally renowned actor that he became, and takes us joyously not only backstage, but into the core of the plays themselves. Peter OTooles first book was declared a masterpiece; in its mould-breaking originality, his second surpasses it.
