Voice
I have tried to capture something of the very distinctive quality of Max Adrian's voice -- once heard, never forgotten -- but if someone can find better words to capture that quality, please feel free to try. Nandt1 (talk) 12:57, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * rasping-voiced, beautifully-pronounced English diction, that nevertheless left an odd impression that it might not be his first language.
 * I don't know who was the scarier - Max, or Patrick Magee  RodCrosby (talk) 21:56, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Typo?

 * Duly amended - thank you. Tim riley (talk) 18:45, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

LGBT - just checking
We say that Laurier Lister became his "lifelong partner". Yet we're not using any LGBT categories. Why is this? Does "partner" here mean something other than personal partner? -- JackofOz (talk) 22:46, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not well found in the 'category' rules, but Max Adrian and Laurier Lister were a thoroughly established couple, and known as such throughout the theatrical profession. They didn't make a production number of it, and whether they'd expect to find themselves labelled 'LBGT' (is it?) one can only speculate. - Tim riley (talk) 23:21, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

I know this much about categories: When other people add/delete categories, I ignore it, because another editor will certainly come along and undo what the first has done (or delete the category itself). So, Jack, if you know what you're doing, go ahead. Having said that, Tim, would you say that Adrian should have either of the "People associated with Gilbert and Sullivan" or "Gilbert and Sullivan performers" categories attached? BTW, Tim's inability to spell LGBT makes me LOL! -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:06, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Max Adrian was distinctly more in the LGBT (there!) than in the G&S camp, so to speak. His one-man G&S show wasn't a big hit like his wonderful GBS show (which I saw forty years ago!) - Tim riley (talk) 17:18, 4 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks, folks. I've added them now.  --  JackofOz (talk) 20:05, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Birthplace
conclusively proved to be born in Kilkenny, not Enniskillen, as were several of his brothers and sisters. RodCrosby (talk) 21:56, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

St. Trinian's?
Adrian's musical numbers included... "Surly Girls" (as headmistress of St. Trinian's).
 * Does this mean there was a stage version of the St. Trinian's stories? I can find no reference of this, and of course, in the films the part was always played by Alistair Sim. Valetude (talk) 16:17, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Name
When and why did he change his name to Max Adrian? Valetude (talk) 23:34, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
