Loading...About The Speaker...
After a 40 year career as a scriptwriter and video producer, I am now heavily involved with the Lancaster Grand theatre, the West Lancs Light Railways and in giving talks on topics which I feel keenly about.
About Their Talks...
“Curtain Up!” covers the history of theatre in Britain, in particular the story of the Lancaster Grand built in 1782 – who has performed there, what goes into a production, superstitions and ghosts.
“Scams – Trust No-one” is the result of my training as a Scam Champion by National Trading Standards and covers the many ways crooks target you and what to do about it.
“George Hudson – railway king or rogue?” – a portrait of the meteoric rise and calamitous fall of one of the wealthiest men in Victorian England
All talks are illustrated with Powerpoint and last around 1 hour; I will bring my laptop and a projector, but prefer to use a projector installed in the venue
Fee:
For all talks the fee is £50, which is a donation to the New Foyer fund of the Lancaster Grand Theatre. I will travel to venues within 35 miles of the South Lakes – eg Preston, Penrith, Keswick, Barrow, Lancaster, etc.
