Orson Welles; One Man Band - T01335913889Talking about the third volume of his epic survey of Orson Welles' life and work, Simon Callow probes into one of the most complex artists of the twentieth century. He examines the triumphs and failures of an ambitious one-man assault on one medium after another - theatre, radio, film, television, even, at one point, ballet. In each Welles' radical approach opened up new directions and hitherto un-glimpsed possibilities. Simon Callow will delve into what it was like to be around Welles, and what it was to be him. | |

T755923613A man walks into the spotlight. He needs our ears and, it appears, our purses. But this is no ordinary fund-raiser and no ordinary speaker. He's probably the single most important arts impresario in history, a man with the gift of attracting and inspiring the greatest artists of his time. And that time is running out. The year is 1929 and the man is Sergei Diaghilev. A no-talent hustler or a visionary? Art-addicted, dilettante magpie or genius inventor of the modern? Diaghilev lived by one rule: never repeat. Don't look back. Always look forward. Diaghilev is where the future was. | |

Charles Dickens & the Great Theatre of the World - T63919623Join Simon Callow as he reads excerpts from his exciting new book, Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World. Simon says: "When you find a writer that you love it's like finding a best friend. Dickens never ceases to delight me. There's something in him which chimes with me: the energy; the scope; the generosity; the endless inventiveness of it. There is in Dickens the spirit of the medieval carnival that just deeply turns me on. That sense of the world as one big body and a celebration and embrace of all its grotesqueness, the ugliness, the smell, the sweat." | |
