At the end of last year we went to see Rob Brydon in “A Chorus of Disapproval” at the Harold Pinter Theatre. Enjoyed the play and some of the cast – Rob Brydon, Nigel Harman, Ashley Jensen – signed my drawing.

Julius Caesar 2024

The all female cast of  ‘Julius Caesar’ at the Donmar Warehouse Frances Barber, Jenny Jules, Cush Jumbo and Harriet Walter signed sketch.  Haven’t seen the play yet, which looks interesting and has been well reviewed by the critics. The setting a women’s prison. They all loved the drawing.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching “Jerusalem” on stage in the Westend a couple of years ago. So here’s my drawing – signed by Mark Rylance and Mackenzie Crook

Drawing: Robin Williams in Bengal Tiger at Baghdad Zoo on Broadway

Robin Williams001

Back in 2011 I sent a copy of this drawing to Robin Williams on Broadway asking him to sign it and return it to me. No reply. So when he came to London later that year I got him to sign it as he was leaving BBC Radio 2. Unfortunately, he was too busy to dedicate it to me. Nevermind, I went on to the Happy Feet 2 premiere in Leicester Square and tried my luck again. I only wanted him to fill in the dedication, but I must have confused him. Now the drawing has the dedication and not one, but two Robin Williams autographs.

Drawings: Pete Postlethwaite and Justin Butcher in Scaramouche Jones

Scaramouche Jones

I have a large collection of autographed theatre drawings, mostly from the West End in London, but some from Broadway and other places. I saw Pete Postlethwaite perform “Scaramouche Jones” in Auckland, New Zealand in 2003, and later saw the writer of the piece, Justin Butcher, performing the part in London in 2011. Both excellent, and both signed a drawing for me.
