Charles Ludlam
directed by Rebecca Bayla Taichman
June 6 through July 13, 2008
in Crystal City, Arlington, VA, US
Charles Ludlam’s hilarious Obie Award winner gleefully ransacks literary, cinematic and pop culture as it satirizes everything from Hitchcock’s Rebecca and Victorian Melodrama to The Mummy's Curse, the Brontës and Shakespeare.
And at the Leominster Festival in Leominster, Herefordshire, UK:
Colin Dexter with Gabriel Woolf
7.30pm The Minster College
“Inspector Morse! author Colin Dexter is a fascinating man like the unforgettable character he created. An avid lover of Wagner’s music, a cryptic crossword wizard, teacher and educationalist, classical scholar, great wit, graduate of Cambridge but lover of Oxford, real ale enthusiast and most of all a man with an encyclopaedic knowledge of and all consuming love for the finest English Literature and Poetry.
Come and hear him read from his own work, juxtaposed with his favourite passages taken from such masters as Hardy, Dickens, Charlotte Bronte and A. E. Housman, read by the actor GABRIEL WOOLF, his “all time favourite BBC Radio Voice.”
