My Life With Kenneth Williams - a one-man masterpiece of uncanny impersonation from David Benson.

Unlocking the character of one of Britain's best-loved entertainers at his funniest - and at his most badly behaved, My Life with Kenneth Williams will be performed at Pitlochry Festival Theatre on Tuesday 1st June, 8pm.

Following its Fringe First winning debut at the Edinburgh Festival in 1996, ‘Think No Evil Of Us' played in the West End and toured the country. The show continues to prove its enduring popularity both with audiences who loved Kenneth Williams and those who know nothing of his work.

This brilliantly performed semi-autobiographical show also reveals how David's unusual childhood led to an extraordinary connection with the Carry On star. Packed with scenes and dialogue that will stay with you - for life.

Make sure you get long to see this unique performance by calling the theatre's box office on 01796 484626 or purchasing a ticket online. Tickets will also be on sale on the door, on the night.

Since Think No Evil of Us first stunned Edinburgh audiences in 1996 - picking up a Fringe First Award along the way - Benson and Williams have toured the length and breadth of the British Isles from Shetland to Cornwall, stopping off for a season in the West End of London. Now Benson returns to his masterpiece, bringing the show to new audiences and giving die-hard fans another opportunity to savor the wit and sheer dramatic flair of this unforgettable performance.

Think No Evil of Us is Benson's attempt to break the mold of the ‘biographical' show, eschewing dates, facts and over-familiar anecdotes. "I want to portray Williams as a character rather than as an historical figure," he says. Benson builds a portrait of a highly complex man: vulnerable, insecure and capable of breathtaking cruelty. What fascinates him above all is Williams' ability "continually to redeem himself by turning his private torment into blistering comedy."

In a hilarious yet moving autobiographical section of the show, Benson's explains his own ‘link' with Williams: at the age of thirteen he wrote a story for the Jackanory Writing Competition - and won. He dreamed of having is story read on air by his hero, Spike Milligan. But to his dismay, it was read by the campest man in Britain: Kenneth Williams himself. As Benson explains, for a boy attending a Birmingham comprehensive school - and struggling with his own sexuality, not to mention a mad mother - the Williams connection was to prove something of a burden!

Hailed by friends and colleagues of Kenneth's (including Barbara Windsor, Nicholas Parsons, Sheila Hancock, Barry Took and Dame Maggie Smith) as the most accurate portrayal of Kenneth Williams ever seen, Think No Evil of Us remains a testament to a much-missed entertainer and a masterpiece of modern theatre.
