David Benson revisits his classic performance of the much-missed Carry On star in a new version of the show exploring the astonishing connection that intertwined his life with that of Williams when Benson was still a schoolboy.
David Benson burst onto the theatre scene in 1996, taking the Edinburgh Fringe by storm with Think No Evil Of Us: My Life with Kenneth Williams. Critics, audiences and close friends of Williams were unanimous in their praise. Now, in celebration of Kenneth Williams’ 100th Birthday on 22 February, David Benson revisits his classic performance of the much-missed Carry On star in a new version of the show exploring the astonishing connection that intertwined his life with that of Williams when Benson was still a schoolboy.
In a dazzling display of impeccably honed stage craft, he gives an unsparing portrayal of the tormented comic genius, lurching from hilarity to self-pity in public and in private. David Benson has most recently been seen touring nationwide (Including a visit to The Alex!) with Jack Lane in their acclaimed Dad’s Army Radio Show. ‘A masterpiece of comic timing’ – Evening Standard ‘Brilliant… truly remarkable’ – Mail on Sunday.
