On Wednesday 6th April, the Irish Writers Centre hosted the Dublin launch of ‘The Boy in the Mask: The Hidden World of Lawrence of Arabia’ with Dick Benson-Gyles. Kate O’Toole, daughter of the late Peter O’Toole, who starred in David Lean’s ‘Lawrence of Arabia,’ introduced the event. The evening was convivial and Kate O’Toole was an engaging guest speaker, who mentioned the similarities between her father and the elusive figure of Lawrence.
