Untitled, Nicholas Parsons , single work correspondence
Nicholas Parsons admits to occasional surges of anger when faced with the choice between 'children or career'. Parsons's Dead Heart was relatively successful in the early 1990s, but he was unable to generate any interest in his later plays. He ultimately turned to other forms of work to support himself and his family.
