Stephen Fry to appear in University’s online show
STEPHEN FRY, one of the UK’s best-loved and most prodigious talents of the small and big screen, will give an insight into his influential and innovative work during a special event at the University of Exeter this month.
Fry will be the star attraction at the forthcoming online ‘Creative Dialogues’ event, hosted by the University on Tuesday, January 19.
During the event, the actor, writer, film director, historian and broadcaster will be in discussion with film director, producer, screenwriter and novelist Don Boyd, who is an Honorary Professor in Film Practice at the University of Exeter.
Stephen Fry said: “I expect the conversation to range free like a wild mustang of the plains, kicking, snorting, bucking and prancing. Don Boyd was the first producer/director of films I ever worked for and I know we will have so much to talk about when it comes to the creative experience, performance, and much, much more besides.”
Fry’s acting roles include an awardwinning performance as Oscar Wilde in the 1997 film Wilde, Melchett in the BBC television series Blackadder, Peter Kingdom in the television series Kingdom, Gordon Deitrich in the dystopian thriller V for Vendetta, Mycroft Holmes in Warner Brothers’ Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and The Master of Laketown in Peter Jackson’s Hobbit.
He has also written extensively in many formats, including completing three volumes of autobiography, Moab Is My Washpot, The Fry Chronicles and his latest, More Fool Me.
Don Boyd said: “Stephen Fry’s extraordinarily broad range of talents and achievements provide the perfect opportunity to explore his creative modus operandi and his philosophical and sociological perspectives... expect some surprises, anecdotes and insight!”
