Britten’s son and a modest life amid rising affluence
Britten recalls a frugal upbringing and tells his 12 year old son not to expect wealth, a weekly $1.50 allowance stretching as education remains his priority. His career began in 1947 after GI Bill study at Pasadena Playhouse and Goodman School, leading to stock parts and a steady, modest theater path. A Canadian replica of The Me Nobody Knows opens in Toronto November 4, with another premiere in Cincinnati December 15 before moving to Chicago in February.
