- Sir Derek Jacobi in Conversation with Richard Clifford: Sir Derek JacobiAdded by the promoter or venue
About the show
Sir Derek Jacobi is an icon of stage and screen.
Not bad for a boy who grew up in Essex, the son of a corner shop owner and a secretary. From Leytonstone and the Leyton Players to Hamlet at the Edinburgh Fringe and a scholarship to Cambridge.
With peers such as Ian McKellen and Trevor Nunn, Derek is a founding member of the National Theatre and an enormous talent with Shakespeare running through his blood, having starred in almost every Shakespearean play.
With actor and director Richard Clifford in the driving seat for the evening, there will be incredible insight, joy of Shakespeare and so much more, as he is also Derek’s partner.
Featuring
Sir Derek Jacobi
Sir Derek George Jacobi, an English actor and director, was knighted in 1994 for his services to the theatre. Like Laurence Olivier, he bears the distinction of holding two knighthoods, Danish and British. He is regarded to have one of the most outstanding speaking voices ever with studied tonality and an exceptional elocution in drama.
