Description

The story of Kevin Palmer's rise from a childhood spent in a boys' home, to travelling the globe with the biggest names in stage and on screen, is an inspiration for anyone who has ever wanted to follow a dream. While at first he aspired to a career on the stage, it soon became apparent that it was behind the scenes where his real genius lay. He climbed the ladder in London, playing key roles in productions including Hamlet, Oh What a Lovely War and Auntie Mame. Boys' Home to Broadway tells the inside story of Palmer's experiences with luminaries such as Sir Laurence Olivier, Dame Peggy Ashcroft, Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Nigel Hawthorn, Dame Judi Dench, Barry Humphries and Judy Davis.
