Australian Theatre Archive
Australian Theatre Archive Barry Creyton b. 1939 Barry Creyton is an actor, writer, director and composer who has succeeded as a theatre maker on three continents. He was a much adored television personality early in his career in Australia, when he was catapulted to stardom as part of the satirical television phenomenon that was The Mavis Bramston Show . Soon afterwards he hosted his own variety show. He has written three highly successful stage plays and appeared on stage and television throughout his career. Creyton has distinguished himself playing and writing comic roles although he has also played dramatic roles, and in recent years he has focused on adapting and directing classic plays. Barry Creyton is a purist who prefers live performance to television, and cautions against a tendency in directors to ‘do a concept production rather than a production which reflects the value of the play’. He has constantly challenged himself throughout his career. As soon as he achieved national celebrity status in the 1960’s he decided to leave Australia in order to work where nobody knew him, and test himself in a new environment as a working actor. Creyton is based in Los Angeles where he lives in the Hollywood Hills. He ended up in tinsel town by accident in 1991, began working as a scriptwriter, and disliked the city at first dubbing it ‘Purgatory with Palm Trees’, but soon fell in love with its glamorous cinema history, the marvellous and vibrant small live theatres and the absorbing world of entertainment that is the life blood of the city.

John Pearce (“For the Love of Mike”)
“FOR THE LOVE OF MIKE” Autobiography by John Pearce – OBE Formatted by Bruce Carty – Ph.D. CHAPTER 1. There is a temptation to start with the line "I was born at an early age." But, I can top that. I wasn't supposed to be born at all! Oh, nothing to do with lack of contraceptive knowledge back in those pre-pill days, days when men walked into pharmacies, asking to speak to "the male chemist". I was born because my brother had died. My dear old Pommy dad was the last of the line. It was a pretty long line, dating back several centuries, and having a title somewhere - probably lost due to non-payment of rates, or other handouts demanded of the King of the day. Preservation of the line meant a lot in those days. My dad had two of sisters who had also come to live in Australia. They both married, but none of them to anyone called Pearce. My dad's firstborn was Edward; but, at the age of about eleven, he died of something people don't much die of these days {well, not as much as they did} - rheumatic fever. By this time my sister was very much alive, a couple of years younger than the lamented late Ted. But she would never be a male Pearce, able to carry on the name. And that's where I came into being. I've never believed I have lived on borrowed time, but, if Edward has been sitting on a cloud "up there" watching all these years, thank you, older brother, for letting me have a great life.
