'My future mother-in-law burst into tears when she heard her son
was to marry an actress. There's still something disturbing, I
grant you, about the word "actress". If an MP or some other
outstanding person plays fast and loose with an actress the world
is unsurprised. She is certainly no better than she should be, and
probably French...' As well as being a mother (to the actresses
Sophie and Emma Thompson) and a devoted carer to her own mother and
mother-in-law, Phyllida Law is also a distinguished actress, and
Dead Now Of Course is the tale of her early acting career. As a
young member of a travelling company, Phyllida learned to cope with
whatever was thrown at her, from making her own false eyelashes to
battling flammable costumes and rogue cockroaches. We find her in
Mrs Miller's digs, which were shared with a boozy monkey bought
from Harrods, an Afghan hound known as the 'the flying duster',
several hens and various children. Filled with funny, charming
anecdotes, Dead Now Of Course paints a fascinating picture of life
in the theatre - and at the heart of the story is an enchanting
account of Phyllida's courtship with her future husband, the actor
and writer Eric Thompson.
