A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

George and Weedon Grossmith were brothers, best remembered for their 1892 comic novel, The Diary of a Nobody, which they co-authored, with illustrations by Weedon. George Grossmith was also famous as a music hall performer (he created a series of memorable characters in the comic operas of Gilbert and Sullivan), and as a writer and composer.

Hugh Osborne is a former university lecturer, now an actor and writer. He has appeared in numerous tours and West End shows, and his adaptation of Diary of a Nobody was a hit when it premiered at Royal & Derngate, Northampton, in 2011.

Revue de presse :

Sensational... It's a rare ability to render an audience helpless with laughter and crying with emotion at the same moment. Hugh Osborne's new adaptation of the Victorian comic classic The Diary of a Nobody has this ability in spades. --whatsonstage.com

Perkily inventive, highly pleasing, gloriously funny... while it shows clear signs of indebtedness to the skittish, playful aesthetic of that estimable long-runner The 39 Steps, Osborne's adaptation still possesses heaps of its own irreverent originality. --Telegraph
