Memoirs of the Welsh playwright and actor.
"Taking in the first five decades of Williams's life, this book examines the diverse influences which shaped this complex character. The relationship with parents; with his influential teacher Miss Cooke; the relocations - geographic, cultural and social; the allure of bohemia and the obsession with serial murderers: Russell Stephens weaves a compelling narrative which leads us from the Welsh-English Border to 'twenties Oxford; from Lloyd-George's home in Criccieth to West End associations with Gielgud, from gay haunts at the Alhambra Gardens to the National Eisteddfod of Wales. Stephens also provides a critical overview of all Williams's major works, including The Corn is Green and The Last Days of Dolwyn, and explores his impact and influence on theatre in Britain during one of its greatest periods."--BOOK JACKET.
"Night Must Fall" is a dramatic psychological thriller by Emlyn Williams. The plot revolves around a young lady living with her unmarried rich aunt. The boring country life gets fussier when Olivia, the protagonist, and her aunt get to know that one of their servants is pregnant. The baby's father is a mysterious and charming young man who settles in their house as an aid to Olivia's aunt. He manages to enchant everyone in the place, except for Olivia, to whom he seems suspicious, and not without reason.
Described by Sheridan Morley as a Welsh wizard of an actor, Emlyn Williams struggled up from poverty in Wales to enjoy great success as a playwright and actor on the West End stage.
