Ex theatre director speaks at Queenscourt fundraiser

24th October 2017

A former Southport theatre director Guy Unsworth was the speaker at Queenscourt’s Hospice’s Birkdale Support Group fundraiser.

The event at the Royal Birkdale Golf Club raised £1,830.

The chairman of the group Margaret Mann said: “Guy was an excellent speaker. He gave us a glimpse of his work in the Professional theatre and talked about the many famous names whom he has directed.

“He has travelled very widely, collaborating with famous writers such as those who produced Les Miserables and he has directed at Stratford.”

The Birkdale Support Group has been raising money for the Hospice for more than 25 years. There are two members from the beginning still working on the committee. They organise a variety of events. Their next event is a Murder Mystery evening followed by a Bridge afternoon and a Band Concert. The secretary is Suzanne Gray.
