Brief Lives  - Melbourne 1975

Written and Directed by Patrick Garland

Brief Lives is a British play about John Aubrey, a 17th-century Englishman who met and kept accounts of many of the famous men of his day, including René Descartes, Thomas Hobbes and Christopher Wren. It premiered in 1967 and became one of the most successful one person shows in history. Roy Dotrice played Aubrey in many productions.
The play came out of an episode about Aubrey in Famous Gossips (1965), the BBC television series Garland made with Alan Bennett.

This Souvenir Program/Flyer Style is from the 1975 Melbourne Production.
