John Lahr won the £2,000 (about $2,990) Sheridan Morley Prize for Theatre Biography for his book, Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh (Norton), the Bookseller reported. Lahr commented: "You don't write books for prizes, but it's amazing how thrilling it is to win the acknowledgement because the whole enterprise is so solitary, and there are so many good writers--it's a huge honor."
This year's shortlist included Covering Shakespeare by David Weston, Our Time of Day: My Life with Corin Redgrave by Kika Markham, What Do I Know? People, Politics & the Arts by Richard Eyre, and I Know Nothing: The Autobiography by Andrew Sachs.
