Mere Literary Festival

SATURDAY 18th.OCTOBER
TWO VICTORIAN TALES – Adapted and performed by Raymond Sargent
7.30p.m.                                         The Lecture Hall

An event of unparalleled indulgence for those with a taste for a great story, peerlessly told.

Raymond Sargent’s  one-man dramatisation of two classic short stories by two of the 19th.century’s best know authors – ‘The Signalman’ by Charles Dickens  & ‘The Three Strangers’  by Thomas Hardy - has won widespread acclaim wherever performed.

‘It’s quite a feat for one person to keep a whole audience gripped for an entire evening: a feat of memory, of power, of persuasion and of atmosphere. But actor and musician Ray Sargent does just that with his Two Victorian Tales…(he) has found a way to bring them to vivid visual life…combining his versatile musical skills with his theatrical prowess.’ Blackmore Vale  Magazine

‘…an evening of pure magic…Spellbinding:  ...the successful fusion of the written word and the actor’s skill’. Dorset Echo

Raymond Sargent has earned high popularity and admiration for his one-man shows but his work also includes stage roles, educational & community projects, choreography, voice-overs and TV appearances.
He starred in ‘The Buddy Holly Show’, playing Buddy’s manager & lead saxophone, and his many tours include roles in Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and Dicken’s ‘Hard Times’.  A recent TV role was as passenger Richard Guadagno in ‘ Let’s Roll: The Story of Flight 93’ (Pennsylvania crash: 11th.Sept.2001) screened on ITV’s ‘Tonight Special’.
