Esk Valley Theatre presents Josh Richards in 'Playing Burton' directed by Guy Masterson The Robinson Institute - Glaisdale Sunday 17th February 2013 at 7pm Tickets: £12 Box Office: 01947 897587 From humble roots as the 12th child of a drunken Welsh miner, he rose to become the world's first megastar. Infamously married to Elizabeth Taylor, the word 'paparazzi' was coined for them. But the real Burton, little Richie Jenkins, was known only to a few. Directed by Burton's great nephew, Guy Masterson, and presented in Burton's own words and those of the great writers he admired, Welshman Josh Richards brings the flawed genius astonishingly to life. Josh has worked for the Royal Shakespeare Company and has many film and television credits. This acclaimed production is of course about the life of Richard Burton and after the show Josh will be staying on stage to answer questions. There is no interval, but the bar will be open before and after the show, so you can enjoy a drink during the evening and at the Q & A. It looks like being a memorable night and we expect demand to be high, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
