Observations

1. On 18^th March 2020 at 1:07 a.m., ClassicTheatre noted:

   my father, Bunny Behrens, joins a group of fellow Bristol Old Vic company members, including a 24-year-old Peter O’Toole, then delivering a blistering “angry young man Hamlet” that had critics gobsmacked. He and O’Toole got on well and though O’Toole was younger than my father, the angry young man was very protective of him. One night, when fellow actor Robert Shaw was being a jerk to Bunny, O’Toole took advantage of a fight scene onstage where he went beyond the choreography and actually did deliver a straight-on roundhouse to Shaw one night, then winking at my father in that “got your back, mate” devilish way he had.
