A writer of considerable urbanity and wit. Gary Oldman says it is 'beautiful, touching and funny'. I agree. -- Lynn Barber * Daily Telegraph * Comedy gold... I don't remember when I last read a book that gave me so many laughs... A riveting account of what it takes to be an actor -- Christina Patterson * Sunday Times * Tremendously entertaining... if collapsing into laughter is what you need at the moment, then Playing Under the Piano could be the book for you... a delicious and endearing mode somewhere between utmost sincerity and utter bafflement -- Rachel Cooke * Observer * A great read * Graham Norton * An enormously entertaining memoir * Daily Mirror * The tone of Hugh Bonneville's autobiography is very much like the man himself - warm, charming, funny and thoroughly embraceable... There is a refreshing lack of narcissism in a narrative poised between detached observation and amused self-reflection... An enormously entertaining memoir -- Neil Norman * Daily Express * Really enjoyed this. Wonderfully funny and utterly charming - just like the man himself! -- Jack Whitehall By turns funny, touching, revealing - full of insights, delights and surprises. I couldn't have enjoyed it more -- Gyles Brandreth A gorgeous book. Warm, friendly, funny and sometimes surprisingly emotional. Very like Hugh himself -- Richard Curtis When other books have been forgotten, this one will be remembered. Hugh Bonneville's considerable talent for writing is on display page after page. Beautiful. Touching. And funny. -- Gary Oldman Charming, joyous and entertaining, just like Hugh. -- Griff Rhys Jones A collection of stories painting a brilliantly vivid picture of a career on stage and screen * Yorkshire Post * Bonneville is entertaining, with a clear-eyed view of his trade... Reliving it all so far with light and shade, bite and bonhomie, as a memoirist Bonneville passes the audition with flying colours * Mail on Sunday * You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll love Hugh even more * Woman & Home * Bonneville tells of his life with appealing modesty... he gives us plenty of backstage gossip * Reader's Digest * Witty and moving * Country Living *
