I saved lives and I got rewarded and Im bloody well not going to apologise for it.Sir Neil Marriot had a good pandemic, becoming familiar to millions from his TV appearances as a government medical advisor. His service even earned him a knighthood, and he is now rewarding himself with a lavish birthday party.But, amidst the oak panelling, the champagne and the silver service, his family are at one anothers throats again, and he thinks theres something familiar and somehow unsettling about one of the catering staff...The Snail House is a play about how the past impacts on the present, and how overconfidence can have disastrous consequences. Written and directed by Richard Eyre, it premiered at Hampstead Theatre, London, in September 2022.

Since his successful spell running the National Theatre, Richard Eyres career as a director of film, theatre and opera has made him a leading cultural figure and a hugely respected commentator on the arts.This book collects over fifty short pieces written by Eyre about people he has known and worked with, ideas he has struggled with, things that have moved, delighted or infuriated him. He writes with candour, perceptiveness and charm, and always with an eye for the telling anecdote or the revealing detail that betrays the inner life of his subject.Here we encounter Arthur Miller recounting to Eyre the events of the first night of Death of a Salesman; Harold Pinter overheard in a characteristically pugnacious exchange; Judi Dench racing clockwork chicks across a table, her face illuminated by demented glee.Here too are Alan Bennett, Kate Winslet, Margaret Thatcher, John Mortimer and Marlon Brando, each of them brought vividly and unforgettably to life in the space of a few hundred words.Eyre also includes pieces about the monarchy, about the Iraq War, about Alzheimers Disease (from which his mother suffered), about his love of climbing (from the comparative safety of his armchair), and about the relationship between music and sexuality.What Do I Know? is a book that tackles serious ideas with a light and often mischievous touch, and it confirms Eyres place as one of our foremost writers and cultural statesmen.Richard Eyres writing is illuminated by all he has achieved as the consummate director of our age. He is the wise and gentle expert on the human heart. Ian McEwan
