Jennifer Hilary, who appeared in New York with Coral in this play, remembers one particular incident. Jennifer was playing a scene with Keith Michell, and Coral, listening to it on the speaker system in her dressing room was not impressed by the slowness of his delivery. "What's that fat c*** up to Jenny?" she demanded. "What's with all those long pauses?" "Well Coral" replied Miss Hilary, "he's trying to seduce me in that scene, so the pauses are when he is trying it on". "Don't like it" Coral stated flatly, "I'm going to buy a fucking alarm clock and shove it up his arse!"
