  • Michael Henry Flanders OBE (1 March 1922 – 14 April 1975) was an English actor, broadcaster, and writer and performer of comic songs. He is best known for his stage partnership with Donald Swann. As a young man Flanders seemed to be heading for a successful acting career. He contracted polio in 1943 while serving in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve and for the rest of his life was reliant on a wheelchair. He made a career as a prolific broadcaster on radio and later television, and together with his old schoolfriend, the composer Donald Swann, he wrote successful songs in the late 1940s and early and mid-1950s for revues in the West End of London. In 1956 they themselves performed some of these songs, along with new songs, in a two-man revue, At the Drop of a Hat. This show, and its successor, At the Drop of Another Hat, ran with occasional short breaks from 1956 to 1967 and played in theatres throughout the British Isles, the US, Australia and elsewhere. During and after the stage partnership with Swann, Flanders pursued a many-faceted career, performing on stage, screen, radio, concert platforms and recordings. He wrote opera librettos, a children's book, a volume of poetry and the words of a cantata about Noah's Ark. (en)

  • Michael Henry Flanders (Londra, 1º marzo 1922 – Betws-y-Coed, 14 aprile 1975) è stato un attore, giornalista, scrittore e interprete di canzoni britannico.È particolarmente noto per la sua collaborazione teatrale con Donald Swann. Da giovane sembrava avviarsi verso una carriera di attore di successo. Contrasse la poliomielite nel 1943, mentre prestava servizio nella Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve, e per il resto della sua vita dovette fare affidamento di una sedia a rotelle. Fece carriera come prolifico intrattenitore di una emittente radiofonica e poi televisiva, e insieme al suo vecchio compagno di scuola, il compositore Donald Swann, scrisse canzoni di successo alla fine degli anni 1940 e all'inizio e alla metà degli anni 1950 per le riviste del West End di Londra. Nel 1956 loro stessi eseguirono alcune di queste canzoni, insieme ad altre nuove, in una rivista per due uomini, At the Drop of a Hat. Questo spettacolo, e il suo successore, At the Drop of Another Hat, andò in scena, con brevi pause occasionali, dal 1956 al 1967 e venne portato nei teatri delle isole britanniche, degli Stati Uniti d'America, dell'Australia e altrove. Durante e dopo la collaborazione teatrale con Swann, Flanders intraprese una carriera multiforme, esibendosi sul palco, sullo schermo, alla radio, su piattaforme per concerti e registrazioni. Scrisse libretti d'opera, un libro per bambini, un volume di poesie e le parole di una cantata sull'Arca di Noè. (it)
