Gary Essendine:
“Beryl Willard is extremely competent. Beryl Willard has been extremely
competent, man and boy, for forty years. In addition to her extreme competence,
she has contrived, with uncanny skill, to sustain a spotless reputation for
being the most paralysing, epoch-making, monumental, world-shattering,
God-awful bore that ever drew breath...I will explain one thing further - it is
this. No prayer, no bribe, no threat, no power, human or divine, would induce
me to go to Africa with Beryl Willard. I wouldn't go as far as Wimbledon with
Beryl Willard.”
Liz: “What he's trying to
say is that he doesn't care for Beryl Willard.” —English playwright, actor,
director, and singer-songwriter Noel Coward (1899-1973), Present Laughter
(1939)
