Author: Barry Cohen
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 224
On the stage, in the orchestra pit, at the studio, gallery or museums - it happens. Disasters, near disasters and just plain stuff ups. The result: wit, pathos, farce, absurdity, slapstick. And because it happens to people who are larger than life, people who are household names, it is that much funnier. With his well-attuned antennae for the ridiculous, Barry Cohen has recorded an hilarious collection of anecdotes, witticisms and yarns about the arts in all its forms - opera, theatre, ballet, literature, show biz, television, film and radio. In five books, Barry Cohen has chronicled the foibles, peccadillos and inanities of his erstwhile political colleagues during his 20 years as a federal parliamentarian. Now the man who was Federal Minister for the Arts for almost five years turns his attention to the world of the arts. From the bestselling author of Life with Gough. Spike Milligan, Dame Nellie Melba, Noel Ferrier, Philip Adams, Ruth Cracknell, Ray Barrett, Gordon Charter, Sir Robert Helpmann, Peter Finch, Bob Ellis, Alex Buzo, Frank Thring, Barry Humphries, Bobby Limb.
