Michael Winner has directed some of the biggest names in film and has counted many of them among his friends. These include Marlon Brando, Burt Lancaster, Charles Bronson, Robert Mitchum, Sophia Loren, Ava Gardner, Faye Dunaway, Anthony Hopkins and even OJ Simpson. Winner’s ‘one man show’ about his life has been running since 1966 – he has simply added to it as time and life has moved on.

He recalls his career with the help of entertaining and funny stories and anecdotes. There will be no question and answer session at the end of this event – he prefers to bring in the audience for questions and repartee during the course of it.  As he says to his organisers: ‘Just tell them who I am or that I am about to start, then leave the rest to me, please.’

Winner has directed many British and Hollywood films, including the Death Wish series, Scorpio, Hannibal Brooks and The Nightcomers. He is a regular on television today including on a series of insurance advertisements and as a panellist on Have I Got News for You. He also writes a regular column for The Sunday Times. Referring to the one man show, one writer in The Sunday Times described Winner as ‘the most amusing man in a profession full of awful people.’
