This is from a Youngish Perspective:
'Briffa’s writing is rich and witty, while also providing moments of reflective pathos... It Happened to Me remains a compelling and accomplished piece of writing, offering a fascinating and often poignant portrait of a life lived intensely — and ultimately at great cost.'
It's nice to know that some youngish people like it. Whenever I told people I was writing a play about Peter Lawford, most people looked at me blankly. Maybe only ten people said 'Oh, the Rat Pack guy'. And they were all over forty. Maybe, if the play were a one man show from Frank Sinatra, maybe we'd probably have sold out every night even if the play wasn't much cop. Maybe. My only quibble this time is the claim that Lawford gets interrupted by phone calls from Johnny Cash. In fact, he doesn't get a single phone call from anyone during the play, let alone from the fabled folk singer. Sure, he imagines a few. Still...
