The Life and Death of Sandy Stone
Humphries, Barry
ISBN: 0732903300
Pan Macmillan Sydney 1990 First Edition
quarto - over 9¾" - 12" Tall Red Cloth Gilt Spine 800 g; XXXII, 200 pp., introduction by the editor Collin O'Brien, foreword by Barry Humphries, five appendices, discography, bibliography. Illustrated throughout with black and white photographs, advertisements, and ephemera. Colour illustrated dustwrapper. The front edge of the text block shows handling marks, otherwise the book shows no sign of damage. Sandy Stone is the least obtrusive of Barry Humphries' stage creations, yet since the late 1950s no-show of Mr Humphries' has gone by without a monologue -- frequently a long monologue -- from this "decent old man of the suburbs", and this is the first appearance of the complete soliloquies in one book, the whole canon, with learned footnotes,, marginalia and appendices to assist the scholar, as well as stage directions, historical cross-references, glossarial notes, and an important introduction by Prof O'Brien of the University of Western Australia, who was the world's foremost authority on Stone studies. Probably the most accessible of all of Barry Humphries's characters. Theatre Very Good
