A Love Letter to Dan Question:
Answer:
The occasion is musical tribute Gala to the founder of Islington's King's Head Theatre, entrepreneur and producer, Dan Crawford who died last July at the age of 62. A Love Letter to Dan will be a musical tribute to this much-loved and respected Artistic Director whose loyalty, delightful eccentricity and revolutionary work ignited the careers of so many leading performers such as Anthony Sher, Victoria Wood, Steven Berkoff, Hugh Grant and Quentin Crisp. Widely recognised by critics and audiences alike, the King's Head is one of London's premiere fringe venues. Founded by Dan Crawford in 1970, it has won numerous awards and has transferred more than thirty productions to the West End, eight national tours and six Broadway transfers - meaning more than one in ten show transfers. The venue continues the work that Dan faught so hard to maintain under the Artistic Directorship of his widow, Stephanie Sinclair and associate, Ann Pinnington who joined the theatre fifteen years ago. It is their mission to complete Dan's work and take the theatre forward whilst at the heart continuing to provide the type of productions for which this 115 seat intimate fringe theatre has become so cherished by the local and London theatre-going community. Monies raised from this special evening at the Novello will go towards the Raise The Roof fund for the refurbishment of the theatre in order that Dan Crawford's legacy can continue. Tickets for A Love Letter to Dan are available from the Novello Theatre Box office on 0870 950 0935 and range from £25 - £150, the top price ticket includes joining the stars at the after show party.
