Brief lives

"In 1967, "Brief Lives," starring Emmy, BAFTA, and Tony Award winner Roy Dotrice opened at the Hampstead Theatre Club in London. On the second evening it was bought by David Susskind and opened at the John Golden Theater on West 45th Street, New York. In 1968, it opened in London's West End at the Criterion Theatre, where it played for 400 performances, and then later at the Mayfair Theatre. After a successful run in 1974 at New York's Booth Theatre on 45th Street, Mr. Dotrice took "Brief Lives" on world tour, breaking all records for the longest-running solo performance. He became reigning champion for decades in the "Guinness Book of Records" with a total of 1,782 performances. The tour ended in Australia in 1979 when a performance was taped before a live theatre audience and broadcast on national television."--www.cinemind.com/aubrey
