Multi-talented actress, singer, author, director Annabel Leventon (Rocky Horror Picture Show, Rock Follies) will describe some key events in her career in theatre, film and TV. She has worked at a successful level for so long that the list of actors she has worked with reads like a who’s who of British theatre, including the likes of Peter O’Toole, George Cole, and Mark Rylance. Her talk will focus on the ups and downs of creativity and how she moved from being nominated for actress of the year for her role as the leading lady in Hair! to originating the idea for a hit TV series and then to setting a legal precedent protecting the work of all creative people.
