The Life I Lead is a one-man comedy play by James Kettle about the life of English actor David Tomlinson.[1]
Tomlinson was best known for his role as Mr. Banks in the 1964 Disney film Mary Poppins (in which Tomlinson famously sings the Sherman Brothers song, "The Life I Lead" and to which the title of this show refers). Tomlinson was also known for playing Professor Emelius Browne in Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971) and Peter Thorndyke in The Love Bug (1968).
