Desmond Dingles Complete History of the Whole World by Patrick Barlow
Barlow first created the persona of Desmond Dingle - poseur and failed intellectual - in the 1980s. Dingle, founder and leading actor of the National Theatre of Brent, here gives us the benefit of his huge knowledge by charting the history of the world in 66 chapters.
'This book bears comparison with 1066 And All ThatObviously' Nick Hern
Desmond Dingle needs no introduction. Patrick Barlow's plays for the National Theatre of Brent include Love Upon the Throne and The Messiah. His six-part series for Channel 4, Massive Landmarks of the Twentieth Century, was screened last year. On stage, Barlow was Toad at the (real) National Theatre; on television he was in The Thin Blue Line; and on film he was Bridget Jones's mother's lover.
