Our George: The George Formby Story A Two-Act Play Also Featuring the Monologue, Our Annie's Funeral (Paperback)


'OUR GEORGE' is based on David Bret's controversial best-selling biography, 'George Formby: Troubled Genius'. It tells the no-holds-barred story of the legendary British entertainer, he of the toothy grin, ukulele, and risque but catchy songs. Formby's life was dominated firstly by a cantankerous, copiously vulgar mother, then by grasping siblings, and finally by a frequently overbearing and domineering wife, Beryl, yet without whose nagging and shrewd business sense, he would never have made it to the top. The play, in two acts, presents George Formby as an equally difficult but caring, womanising troubled genius, a man who suffered for his art, and who only found true love when it was too late. 'OUR ANNIE'S FUNERAL' is David Bret's humorous take on his grandmother's funeral as seen through the eyes of her odd-bod sister, Kate. David Bret is one of Britain's leading celebrity biographers and has published over 30 books. His subjects include Edith Piaf, Greta Garbo, Mario Lanza, Diana Dors and Gracie Fields
