Summary
An enthralling journey through time, fashion and theatreland: from hairdressing student in the early 1960s to theatrical wig creator for the biggest shows of our time over five decades – from the West End to Broadway – Box Brownie to Cinemascope. My Name Is Not Wigs is the ultimate read for fans of witty behind-the-curtains memoirs, especially those with a penchant for the bright lights of stage and screen: tears and accolades aplenty! ‘A unique backstage story – honest and good-humoured, like the author.’ – Sir Ian McKellen ‘A glorious cavalcade of theatrical gossip and professional achievement in a department of our profession that largely goes unsung.’ – Frances de la Tour ‘A wonderful read and so well written with plenty of fascinating stories.’ – Sir Michael Gambon
