Description
It is 1988 and Kenneth Williams – comic actor, author and raconteur – is at the end of his tether.
Persistent illness, a flagging career, and disintegrating relationships; all have combined to bring about a deep melancholy and a lonely despair. Shadows are encroaching and the curtain is beginning to fall.
In reality, it was indeed the end of the road for this icon of British entertainment.
But what if things had worked out differently? What if this legend of stage, radio and screen hadn’t succumbed to the misery and suffering, and actually managed to find a way back? What if the great Kenneth Williams had lived on?…
BEYOND OUR KENNETH is an imagined continuation of the acclaimed star’s notorious diary – a fictional, five-year extension, where we find the king of campery enduring in an alternate London of the early nineties.
Follow the master of the acidic put-down, the prince of pithy retorts, as he navigates unfamiliar waters with a cast of cohorts, both familiar and new. Listen in to more private musings from one of the country’s favourite personalities… there’ll be candour, cattiness – and plenty of carrying on!
