Leeds Grand Theatre is the launch venue for An Afternoon with Sir Roger Moore, a touring one-man show where the much loved James Bond star recalls his adventures in acting and beyond.
Roger Moore is best known for his portrayal of James Bond, the slick secret service agent with a licence to kill. The second actor to take to the role, Moore remains the longest serving, starring in no less than seven blockbuster movies between 1973 and 1985. In his show, Moore recounts his Bond experiences, amongst his work on The Saint and The Persuaders, over two relaxed hours, sharing eyebrow-raising stories about Tony Curtis, Errol Flynn and Grace Jones, to name but a few.

The musical also signifies James Brining’s directorial debut as Artistic Director of the Playhouse. Derived from a Victorian pulp magazine story, Hugh Wheeler’s book follows the fictional tale of Sweeney Todd, the maligned barber who, recently released from prison, attempts to re-establish his business in a declining and destitute Fleet Street. Things seem to be going well until Todd’s mysterious past catches up with him, and his razor blade becomes the weapon of choice to erase his problems.

Director: Max Webster Writer: Alice Nutter Theatre: West Yorkshire Playhouse Duration: 175 mins My Generation is the second of two concurrent plays opening the new season at the West Yorkshire Playhouse this month. Written by Alice Nutter, the show presents four stories about a Leeds family living life on the breadline between 1977 and the present day. The story begins with Cath and Mick living in a squat in Leeds, desperately trying to bring up children in an environment where people are forced out of their jobs whilst lossing their homes. Jumping to 1984, the play traces the effect of the miners’ strikes, before moving on to the rave culture of the early 1990s, reaching a final destination of post-New Labour in 2013. A study of the effects of capitalism and unemployment on three generations, Nutter’s play is a tale of the past, present and uncertain future. |
