Roddy Maude-Roxby was a pioneer of British Pop art and improvisation in theatre. Now 93, he recalls childhood memories of World War II, his illustrious colleagues at the Royal College of Art, combining art and acting at the Royal Court Theatre, meeting Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift and Woody Allen, making masks and their psychological implications, painting and drawing on cardboard and in daily notebooks, his current work with digital software and his love of poetry.
