John Sharp(XXI)
- Actor
Classically trained veteran actor John Sharp was brought up in Liverpool, where he attended the Liverpool Institute, and was a contemporary of Paul McCartney and George Harrison. Later, he joined the Marlowe Society at Cambridge, appearing as Arviragus in a 1960 production of Cymbeline alongside Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi and Trevor Nunn.
Since then, he has been active in both acting and directing at some of the country's main Little Theatres; the People's Theatre in Newcastle, the Stockport Garrick and Southport Dramatic Club. In recent years he has created three stage scripts, a stage version of 'The Story of Oliver Twist,' a translation of Moliere's 'The Miser' and a compilation telling the story of the life of Charles Dickens, all three of which have been performed.
