In Conversation with Brian Blessed

The larger-than-life actor, writer, presenter, raconteur and all-round force of nature Brian Blessed will be at the Stafford Gatehouse for one, very special, night only!

In conversation with Brian Blessed will be a rare opportunity to experience the career of a national treasure, accompanied by an eloquent wit and booming, operatic voice. Blessed is also an avid explorer and climber and the evening will combine anecdotes from his illustrious acting career with tales of his adventuring.

With a career spanning more than 50 years, there is no shortage of material. On screen, he has appeared in everything from Blackadder to Doctor Who to Flash Gordon and Kenneth Branagh’s Shakespeare films. On stage his credits range from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. And his trademark booming voice has also featured on everything from Peppa Pig character Grampy Rabbit to a voice download on TomTom’s sat nav system.

Hosted by Stafford Shakespeare’s Producer, Mike Groves, this will be an event for anyone’s diary.
