An Actor's Life presented by Richard Derrington
Eckington Village Hall
Friday, 8th February 2013, 7:30 PM


It's a funny old life. One week your name is scrolling across the digital billboard that looks over the Thames from the National Theatre, the next you're wandering round a village in Wales trying to find a) the 'theatre' b) a poster and c) anything alive other than sheep".

Main Box Office Telephone Number:  01386 750305 , Tickets £9.

Safeguarding and Protecting Children Training
