A piano scholarship to the Royal College of Music brought Nan Kenway to England from her native Australia, but she always had an urge to go on the stage and made her debut with Ronald Frankau's 'White Kittens'. After playing in a concert party with Naunton Wayne at Newquay, she joined Will Seymour's 'Bubbles' as comedienne and tap-dancer. Douglas Young joined the company, and they were married within a year.
Douglas started life in an insurance office and then got a job as a reporter on the Richmond and Twickenham Times. But he also wanted to go on the stage. He began as a baritone, and one thing led to another - character work, satire, Bubbles, and Kenway and Young.
