Acting for Causes

On 10 November 1961, in my first job as a junior member of the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry, I was part of a benefit: Midnight Celebration was in support of the Coventry Cathedral Festival. Since then I've performed in varied fundraising events some of which, like The Stonewall Equality Shows, I have devised and helped to organise. :
