One Man in his Time

 As my fellow playwright William Shakespeare once observed:


‘All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances,

And one man in his time plays many parts’.

He was right, you know. And that one man is Jonathan Hansler. In the course of one hour, our man goes through the wringer, playing, among others, Cubby Broccoli, Elizabeth Taylor, a doctor from Boston, Lady May Lawford, Sir Sydney Lawford, film director Monty Banks, Louis B. Mayer, John F. Kennedy, Frank Sinatra, a Freudian psychiatrist, Marilyn Jimmy Durante, Chuck Pick, Laurence Olivier, Christopher Lawford, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, a young female fan, Robert F. Kennedy, Peter Sellers, Tony Curtis, Orson Welles, Roger Moore, Sean Connery, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Junior. And of course, Peter Lawford.


Does he carry it off? You better believe it.

Starts on Tuesday at the old Red Lion.
