Description

After decades of theatrical ventures and performing together, 1957 would be the last time Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh would work together, with a European tour and London season of Shakespeare's seldom-performed Titus Andronicus.

Strangely, not much has been written about one of the most prestigious touring theatre productions of all time, which visited six European capitals and became the first British Shakespearean company to perform beyond the Iron Curtain at the height of the Cold War.

Now, David Barry tells the entire inside story of the incredible tour, in which he - at the age of just fourteen - played Olivier's grandson, accompanying the media-power couple of the decade around Europe.

This is theatre history that has never before been told in such detail and will take the reader on the trip of a lifetime to discover what really went on during the crazy, hectic, wild and yet still utterly sensational touring production.
