From the Inside Flap
"Theatrical agent, Michael Whitehall, has been involved with
the careers of may eminent actors from Kenneth More, Tom Courtenay, Colin
Firth, Dorothy Tutin, Edward Fox, Jack Davenport, Judi Dench, Ian
Charleson, Peter Bowles, Elaine Stritch and Donald Sinden to Nigel Havers,
James Fox, Angela Thorne, Richard E Grant, Stewart Granger, Anton Rodgers,
Patrick Macnee, John Le Mesurier, Danie Day-Lewis, David Hemmings and
Richard Griffiths.
In Shark-Infested Waters, Michael Whitehall contrasts the glamorous image
of theatrical life with the mundane realities of the business, while
passing on some startling trade secrets along the way. A laconic raconteur
of refreshingly unstar-struck theatrical anecdotes, Whitehall deftly
sketches the social comedy of his eccentric background: growing up in
suburban London in the 1950s, his schooldays at Ampleforth and his
subsequent adventures as a prep schoolmaster - worthy of Evelyn Waugh
himself - before becoming an actors' agent.
Whitehall represented some of the most famous names in British film,
theatre and television, though he writes about them not as "celebrity
icons" but as idiosyncratic human beings, rejoicing in their foibles with a
deliciously dry wit. Whitehall has an acute eye for the vanities and
absurdities of show business.
Shark-Infested Waters is a charming, funny and piquant view of a world that
continues to fascinate.
