Tom Conti in John Dowie's Jesus My Boy on stage in London's West End Apollo theatre - ticket buying and theater guide (1884 words)
Tom Conti, sporting a fl and white beard, leather apron, sandals and vaguely Jewish intonation, sits by a little wooden table in the midst of a stage as wooden as the life-story he tells.
Conti rambles amiably on - after some of the West End solos this year, such as Lee Evans or Steve Coogan, this is Jackanory-time - but explodes at last in recounting his son's advice to love your enemies.
But the better Conti's comic timing is, the more it exposes the charade-like nature of the event: what we are watching is essentially the transformation of Joseph into a practised showbiz raconteur who uses phrases like "working the room" and who probably does barmitzvahs.
