Sir Derek Jacobi A Life in Stages
Whether you know him best for his career-defining role in I Claudius, for his very many stage and TV performances or even for Last Tango in Halifax, Derek Jacobi is nothing short of an acting legend. Since first being spotted by Laurence Olivier and becoming one of the founding members of the National Theatre, his acting CV reads like an extraordinary encyclopedia of stage and screen. Despite questioning the authorship (and a spoof Emmy-winning appearance in Frasier as the world's worst Shakespearean actor), his performances in the Bard's plays have earned him the acclaim of the public and the admiration of his fellow actors. In a very special evening, he'll be sharing a lifetime passion for acting.
