Sir Derek Jacobi in Conversation with Richard Clifford
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.
