In 1986 Charles Osborne, ex-actor and translator of plays from French and German published a vitriolic attack on British drama critics. As a result, he was offered the position as chief theatre critic for the Daily Telegraph. He agreed to undertake the job for a period of no more than five years. His perceptive, trenchant and wittily expressed reviews established him as a highly respected recorder of the London theatrical scene. This volume is a record of five years on the front-line.
