Jules Henry Sherek (1900–1967) was a British theatrical manager, known for producing the plays of T. S. Eliot.[1][2]

Sherek (left)

Sherek was born on 23 April 1900, at 2 Guilford Street, London, to Bernard a merchant (and later an international theatrical agent), and Margarette (née Jacoby).[1] He was educated at the Waren Gymnasium in Germany, where he became fluent in German, and at a school in Switzerland, where he learned to speak French.[1] He was severely wounded while in the Near East during World War I, having lied about his age in order to enlist while only 15.[1]

Following the war, and after a period in the United States working for David Belasco and at a theatrical agency, he took over his father's agency.[1]

In 1937, he married the actress Pamela Carme (real name Kathleen Pamela Mary Corona Boscawen; 1902–1995), who was the daughter of the Evelyn Boscawen, 7th Viscount Falmouth.[1] She retired from acting to be her husband's business partner.[1]

During World War II, he again served in the British army, becoming a major before being invalided out in 1944.[1]

He produced the T.S. Eliot plays The Cocktail Party, The Confidential Clerk, and The Elder Statesman.[1] All were directed by E. Martin Browne.[1]

He appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 15 June 1959.[3]

Examples of his correspondence with Sir Cecil Beaton are included in the latter's papers, in the library of St John's College, Cambridge.[2]

After spending his retirement in Geneva, he died in Venice on 23 September 1967.[1]
