SIMON CALLOW One Man Band Orson Wells Tour

Acclaimed actor Simon Callow probes in comprehensive and penetrating detail into one of the most complex artists of the twentieth century. He looks closely at the triumphs and failures of an ambitious one-man assault on one medium after another – theatre, radio, film, television – even, at one point, ballet – in each of which his radical and original approach opened up new directions and hitherto unglimpsed possibilities.

His new book shows what it was like to be around Welles, and, with a precision rarely attempted before, what it was like to be him, answering the old riddle: whatever happened to Orson Welles?

The evening will comprise a talk, readings, and a question and answer session.

MEET THE

TICKETING TEAM...

The G Live Ticketing Team are often the first people you meet when you arrive in the venue or telephone us; whether you’re buying tickets, visiting the café, coming to an event or making an enquiry.

PORTIA

Avenue Q, it’s really funny, very entertaining and will attract large crowds.

Mark, Hannah and Suzy are the full-time team members, with back up from Tamsin, Portia, Rumour and Ollie. We asked them about the shows they’re most looking forward to, and the best thing about working at G Live.

MARK

TAMSIN

Collabro, even though they sing well-known musical theatre and more modern hits, they still put their own unique twist on it.

The best thing about G Live is definitely the variety. There are all sorts of things going on, which means we get to talk to different kinds of people about them too! Where else can you have Carmen and Bullet for my Valentine in the same week?!

RUMOUR

Lord of The Flies, I studied this book at school so it will be very nostalgic and is such a classic!

SUZY

La Bohème, it’s a well-known and loved story and completely modernised for new audiences to enjoy, without losing the original drama!

HANNAH The energy from the audiences as they arrive for a show gives you a boost. It’s great to see people looking forward to seeing their favourite acts.

G LIVE’S

CHARITY PARTNER G Live is raising money to help fund brand-new operating theatres at Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital. For the past three years HQ Theatres & Hospitality, alongside sister company Qdos Entertainment, has been supporting the Theatres for Theatres appeal, in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.

So far the generosity of audiences and staff has raised over £710,000 for the charity, but we have more to raise to help build and equip a suite of new operating theatres at the Hospital which will open in 2017.

You can donate using collection tins at G Live or online at gosh.org/theatredonation Your support makes a huge difference.

Thank you.

SUNDAYS 11AM & 5PM (see GLive.co.uk for full dates) G Live is home each week to Hillsong Church Guildford. Join them for Church for all the family with the Hillsong Worship Band and a full Kids Church programme for 1–11 year olds.
