Shakespeare & Stratford
An evening of, prose, music, comedy and song
Sunday, 29th June 2008 at 7.30 p.m.
As part of the ongoing efforts of the Bristol Old Vic Theatre Club’s fundraising campaign we are delighted to announce that along side Martin Best, Jane Lapotaire, Barbara Leigh-Hunt and Richard Pasco, Dame Judi Dench, one of the grand dames of British theatre, will be appearing live on stage of Bristol’s historic Theatre Royal in aid of the ongoing refurbishment appeal.
The evening will be a humorous and entertaining journey, seen through the eyes and pens of such literary greats as Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf and Jane Austen, coupled with thespian insights from Kenneth Branagh, Donald Sinden and Spike Milligan. This wonderfully evening of entertainment celebrates debates and lampoons the world and works of the great bard himself.
All proceeds will go to the Bristol Old Vic Refurbishment Appeal.
Tickets for the event will go on sale by postal application only from 1st May (a downloadable application form is available on the website www.bristol-old-vic.co.uk.)
Ray Price says:
“This is only the second performance of a prestigious event. It’s a minor miracle that these professionals are all available on the same date and are joining playgoers in helping to secure the future of our wonderful theatre. They are all looking forward to appearing on stage of the theatre royal and we are absolutely thrilled to be presenting a show that will raise a handsome amount for the Bristol Old Vic Appeal”
