A moment towards the end of the play

"The actor Timothy West is held in high regard and great affection. He has played roles as diverse as Edward VII and Thomas Beecham, Falstaff and Uncle Vanya, Stalin and Churchill - and he became a household name in the TV series Brass. Now in his sixties, he has written his autobiography. In it he emerges as a born writer, a brilliant raconteur and a man deeply concerned about the health of his profession."--Jacket.
