Quoted form A Handful of Keys programme notes in 1994 that he helped write and create: 'Born and educated in England, Malcolm Terrey's career began in London cabaret at 16, goin on to appear in many musical comedies, plays, variety and TV shows, as well as radio work. There followed three in repertory theatre and seven playing 'Dame' in panto. Since arriving in South Africa in 1982, Terrey has appeared in numerous stage productions - Plewman's seven-month run of Uproar in the House, Toerien's Who Goes Bare? and Move Over Markham, to name a few. Malcolm is also something of a Jo-burg Follies marathon man, with annual runs of five months' duration. More recently he delivered an inimitable in Jeeves. Here, in Handful, we see another facet of the man - as scriptwriter for this lively entertainment - as well as presenting a composition of his own.'
