Easy Money

This production opened on Billie Whitelaw’s 17th birthday and was advertised as her official stage debut. (‘Bradford girl’s stage debut’, Bradford Observer 2nd June 1949, page 1.)

“I now learned the most important lesson of my career. There was a character actor called Frank in the company. I don’t even remember his second name … One night, during the performance, I carelessly missed an entrance. At the end of the show this actor called the company together, and asked them to stay on stage. Then, in front of everybody, he tore into me. He was absolutely right to do so. On that rep stage in Leeds he taught me what it meant to be a professional.” (‘Billie Whitelaw … Who He?’, 1995)
