In 1977 Frank Grimes played Valentine in Anton Rodgers’s production of Shaw’s You Never Can Tell for the Oxford Playhouse Company. That season he went on to roles in plays by Ibsen and David Hare.
On the first night of You Never Can Tell, there being no way of getting from stage left to right behind the set at the Key Theatre, Peterborough, Frank hit his head on a concrete beam running below the stage to make an entrance.
