Friday 16 September 2011

Chair: John Crosse

Sir Timothy Ackroyd, West End director, actor, poet, author and illustrator, will be performing his internationally acclaimed one man show ‘A Step Out of Time‘.

Prepare to be taken back in time – this moving and funny show charts the childhood life of one our finest actors, exploring his early meetings with Montgomery, Churchill and Peter O’Toole, and the meaning of friendship.

Sir Timothy’s acting career began in 1976 when he was nominated as Most Promising Newcomer in the West End Theatre Awards for his performance as Clytemnestra in Aeschlus’s Agamemnon.

His London début was in Brian Forbes’ controversial and hugely successful Macbeth at The Old Vic. His West End debut was starring opposite Peter O’Toole and Joyce Carey in George Bernard Shaw’s Man and Superman. Other appearances in the West End include the long-running farce ‘No Sex Please, We’re British’ and ‘Pygmalion’ with John Thaw.

‘A Step Out of Time’ is guaranteed to entertain.
