  • Summary

  • Felicity Kendal's irresistible performance as Barbara in The Good Life made her a household name almost 50 years ago; but her life was unique and fascinating long before that. Her childhood was spent touring India and Asia with her parents' theatre company, performing in makeshift theatres, schools, jungles and palaces. Her first stage appearance was in Midsummer Night's Dream when she was nine months old. She tells Gyles all about this amazing travelling circus life - how she caught typhoid as a teenager, went to a different school every couple of months and only ever took one exam, and still speaks Hindi and thinks of India as home. Felicity also talks about returning to London as an unknown 17 year-old and how she made it as an actress. This episode is charming, funny, unusual and full of laughter. Felicity will star in Filumena at Theatre Royal Windsor from 4 October. Thank you to Felicity for this wonderful interview. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
