Dominic Frisby: my mission to revive my father's long-lost WW2 musical masterpiece

The late Terence Frisby was an acclaimed writer and playwright - but his most intensely personal story never saw the light. At last, it will.

Obituary: Terence Frisby, actor and playwright

Terence Frisby, who has died aged 87, may not have occupied the front rank of playwrights who emerged in the 1960s, such as Tom Stoppard or Alan Bennett, but he achieved something even his most commercially minded peers could only dream of - record-breaking West End success.

There's A Girl In My Soup, his frothy, sophisticated look at sexual relations in the Swinging Sixties, ran from 1966 to 1973 to become the longest-running comedy in the history of the West End.

Old Comedian Of The Year 2018 review

Are the old ones the best? That's what Leicester Square Theatre's Old Comedian Of The Year competition aims to find out... even if 35, the minimum age for entrants (the same age as Nicki Minaj, btw), might hardly be considered past it. Certainly 84-year-old compere Lynn Ruth Miller poured scorn on some contestants' idea of being old, as she hosted the 3pm gig with a mix of dottiness and laments over her ailing sex life.
