Remembering Sheridan Morley

What a wonderful afternoon it was! Who can imagine a theatre jammed full of the most famous thespians in London honouring that despised creature, a theatre critic? But they — Miriam Margolyes, Corin Redgrave, Patricia Hodge, Simon Callow and many others — all came. Actors loved the late Sheridan Morley, for they realised that Sherry not only loved but also had huge understanding of the theatre. And they — actors, directors, producers, friends — came in their hundreds to show their affection for him. And as they read from Sherry’s reviews, reminisced, sang and recited, they made us laugh and cry.
