Theatrical Knight Hears News While Swimming
London's latest theatrical knight, Sir Nigel Playfair, was swimming in the Thames when he received the news that he had been honoured with a title. Sir Nigel’s son, Giles, raced to the river-bank, flourishing a newspaper containing the honours list. Sir Nigel is an intrepid swimmer and risks the strong current of the river every day of the year. At the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith, he received an ovation on the evening of the day the honour was made known.
