written by RICHARD FAWKES with Jim Norton as Dion Boucicault
Narrated by Nigel Graham
' I wish I deserved such an epitaph as this: He lived like a prince and died worth a shilling, owing no man a penny, but leaving a record written in smiles and good humour. So do not shed a tear over him who never intentionally caused one to flow.'
The Irish playwright Dion Boucicault , author of London Assurance and The Colleen Bawn , died in New York in 1890. He had dominated theatrical life on both sides of the Atlantic for half a century, switching effortlessly from drawing-room comedy to spectacular melodrama. with the voices of: LESLIE HERITAGE, MICHAEL DEACON MICHAEL SHANNON , DENIS MCCARTHY PHIL BROWN , MADI HEDD
