See a Problem?
How Green was My Gimlet is a three act play that centers on a psychiatrist who winds up treating a married couple - The Pillows -in weekly back to back appointments. Neither wants their partner to know they're seeing a shrink. Nutty at opposite ends of the spectrum the two can agree on one other thing: But that just makes things worse.
Gerogie likes hers with green cherry juice but David can't stand them that way.
Is this the root of all their pr How Green was My Gimlet is a three act play that centers on a psychiatrist who winds up treating a married couple - The Pillows -in weekly back to back appointments. Is this the root of all their problems? And will poor Dr. Hildrone be an alcoholic before he's able to solve their issues? Even better does he want to fix them?
With all the suicides business has been "falling off" lately.
How much can he take of the zanny couple before the eager to please doctor drops off the deep end himself? Fun and witty this had me laughing out loud more than once. Great just as something to read but I can only imagine it would be even more fun for a small theater group to perform.

Sir T Shaking head and putting equal emphasis on each word I am not going to go there. LK Can I ask something different? She says people who achieve remarkable success must have three things: Does that describe you? Sir T Putting a hand over his face and speaking through it Gosh. LK And are you less inclined to rest on laurels because of your background? You have moved a long way from a working-class home in Ipswich.
Sir T I do feel. The hand goes over his face again being born into a poor working-class family. LK And what about discipline? Everything written about you talks about how hard you work. I would rather be doing this than going on a world cruise. I love everything about my children and the things I do with them. I am in touch with all of them and very proud of them. LK Interrupting again Do directors get better as they get older — or worse? It seems a job that is kind to older men.

Richard Eyre, Peter Hall. Sir T The directorial process need not involve anything physically athletic. You can sit in a chair. I definitely feel a stranger to the computerised age. I operate via my iPhone but am unreliable technologically. Sir T That over the years you learn there ultimately is a solution to everything. For as long as it lasted, the company continued to believe in what they were doing and would be absolutely bewildered as relatively small audiences gave it standing ovations.
LK Glancing at watch — time is running out Is an interview a performance? Interviews are more like playing cricket.
You have to keep playing your defensive shot and every now and again a stray ball comes along that you can hit out of the ground. Is that a performance? Sir T I was an actor at Cambridge. I have acted with Derek Jacobi. I have acted with Ian McKellen.

I have acted with John Cleese. Laughs as if at a private joke. Sir T In Suffolk burr I did have a bit of an Ipswich accent and then in cockney accent I must try a bit of that to see if that works with the girls, and it worked perfectly. So, for a while I became a London boy. Sir T Laughs and runs his hands through his hair What are you talking about? LK But you are always being photographed out and about with beautiful women.
Sir T Raising both hands to make a barrier between him and me That was a very brief interlude, so there we are.

An actress in a green leather jacket climbs the stairs towards the rehearsal room, tossing long blonde hair. Sir T She is incredibly talented and what is unusual is that she is phenomenally articulate and when you talk to her. Aside to audience An odd remark, given his most recent wife was the famously intelligent and articulate Imogen Stubbs. A young man enters, gestures to Sir Trevor: LK It was really nice to meet you.
Sir Trevor climbs the stairs with the enthusiasm of a younger man, hurrying to get back to work. The journalist turns the recorder off.
