Product Information

Caine took over the role when O'Toole left to make Lawrence of Arabia and went on to a four-month tour of the UK and Ireland. Over the years Caine himself had parodied his catchphrase and his "interesting facts", and has imitated others' impressions of him.

Morris reads about elephants, and puts together a puzzle, and dreams of a fantastic space adventure with his cat, Moo. Young people are so present and grounded in their bodies, they have a lot to teach" old heads, the playwright said.
