Now
this sounds like a very special evening indeed. Peter Butterworth has
always been one of my favourite comic actors and his performances in
the Carry Ons were second to none. Sometimes overlooked in favour of
the likes of Sid James and Kenneth Williams, Peter worked
consistently for decades and in my view never quite got the
recognition he deserved. Peter's son Tyler will be taking part in a very
special event at London's Cinema Museum in March next year to tell his father's story.
With
classic clips and rare photographs from his family’s private
collection, Tyler Butterworth relates the extraordinary true story of
his father’s war years, his time in the notorious POW camp Stalag
Luft III, and early theatrical experiences which directly led to his
success as a Carry
On star.
Tyler talks too about his parent’s marriage, as his mother, the
impressionist Janet Brown, became famous for her uncanny portrayal of
Margaret Thatcher.
Tyler
Butterworth followed his parents into the theatre and spent twenty
five years as an actor appearing in many television programmes
including The
Darling Buds of May(1992), Rumpole
of the Bailey (1991), Bergerac (1998), Last
of the Summer Wine (2008)
and Casualty (1986
and 2002). He is now an audio producer, creating audio guides to
cities round the world for private clients.
Tyler
will be joined in on stage after the performance by Misty Moon’s
Linda Regan for a Q&A with the audience.
After
the Q&A Tyler will take part in a meet and greet with the
audience and a paid autograph signing.
Tyler Butterworth will be in conversation at the Cinema Museum on Saturday 23 March 2019. Doors
open at 18.30, for a 19.30 start.
Tickets
in advance £14 (£13 concessions). On the door £15 (£14
concessions).
