5.0 out of 5 stars Merely Perfect!, April 26, 2003
By A Customer
This is a book for everyone to read - it is endlessly interesting. You don't need to have an interest in theatrical history, either, because the stories in this book play like little mini-dramas or comedies, and I think they will appeal to almost every reader. Some are very sad and touching, and others are laugh-out-loud funny!
I've always enjoyed Barry Morse as an actor since before his days on The Fugitive, and it is a treasure to have this book where he shares these moments of theatrical excitement.
It's a perfect mix of material, and a merely perfect book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful written record of unforgettable performances!, May 7, 2003
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
After seeing Barry in his one-man play 'Merely Players' not long ago, I was excited to learn that the text of his performance would be available in a book. Interestingly, this volume also includes the scripts from his TV series 'Presenting Barry Morse' which were a great treat to discover. The stories and performance pieces cover material from pre-Shakespearian times to the present, some very funny and others quite moving - and include material by Shakespeare, Dickens, Shaw, Anton Chekhov, and many others. The book includes a lot of photos from Barry's performances and closes with a number of biographical essays on the notables who play roles in the scripts. An interesting read and highly recommended for both fans of Barry Morse and people interested in theatrical history.
