SUMMARY:When David Came to Preston
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Richard Catmore\n[Some of this is true…] \n ‘He’s naked Mr Hibbert, He’s 17 feet of naked man. Is Preston quite ready for him..?’ \nIt’s October 1893 and Preston’s architectural jewel, The Harris Museum, Art Gallery and Preston Free Library, is about to be opened in a grand ceremony attended by Royalty and civic dignitaries.\nBut not without controversy, for one of the museum’s first acquisitions is a full sized replica statue of Michelangelo’s ’David’.\nBased on at least some research and lots of invention, ‘When David Came to Preston’ is a partially true, fast paced, sharply comedic account of how it got there, where it went, and why it mattered to the national press of the day.\nIt’s also a warm hearted story about a girl who can draw and a man who wants to help… \nCast\n(in order of appearance)\n\n\n\n Alice   Ciava Walker \n Albert   Al-Yasa Khan \n\n\n John Grimshaw   Chris Kershaw \n Dr Nathan Carter   Adam Smith \n\n\n Rev Arthur McCrum   Dennis Yardley \n James Hibbert   Andy Bottomley \n\n\n Mrs Forshaw   Carol Caine \n George Hodge   Chris Turner \n\n\n Elizabeth Grimshaw   Debbie Taylor \n Jane McCrum   Marion Yardley \n\n\n Edith Carter   Rachael Fraser-Bourne \n Nelly   Lisa Grey \n\n\n Maud   Mel Murphy \n Elsie   Pat Baker \n\n\nDirected by  Richard Catmore \n  \n\n\n\n
