This extract from my monologue “No Robe for a Hermit”, printed below, has received much interest from certain quarters. I was pleased with the response: no-one knew if the voice of the unnamed actor was autobiographical or not. The unnamed actor is introspective and, as he begins to question all he has achieved early in his career, during the late 1950s and 1960s, his doubts begin to creep in as he believes that success is an illusion and will bring no happiness to him and his…
