My Life with Kenneth Williams

In a dazzling display of impeccably honed stage craft, David Benson brings Kenneth Williams roaring back to life in a portrayal of which the late Dame Maggie Smith wrote in a letter to Benson: “You put the heart across me’, as the Irish say, for I thought it WAS Kenneth!”
Thirty years from its debut, and in celebration of Kenneth Williams’ 100th Birthday, David Benson revisits his legendary portrait of the much-missed Carry On star in this new version of the show, exploring the astonishing connection that intertwined his life with that of Williams when Benson was still a schoolboy.
David Benson has most recently been seen touring nationwide with Jack Lane in their acclaimed Dad’s Army Radio Show. David Benson burst onto the theatre scene in 1996, taking the Edinburgh Fringe, the touring circuit and ultimately the West End by storm with Think No Evil Of Us: My Life With Kenneth Williams. Critics, audiences and close friends of Williams were unanimous in their praise.
