The man behind Dr Who and Queer as Folk will be revealing secrets of the new series of the cult sci-fi show at a special Pride event next month.
Russell T Davies, will be attending the Cardiff Mardi Gras Fringe Benefit evening on September 6 to meet fans and answer questions on Dr Who, as well as his other critical and commercial successes.
The event is part of Cardiff’s Mardi Gras celebrations, which take place throughout early September and culminate in a concert on the 10th September.
The musical event will take place in the Millennium Stadium and is expected to see the massive football and rugby ground turned pink for the evening.
Opera turned pop star Charlotte Church is also set to appear at the musical events held in the Welsh capital.
Davies’ appearance will coincide with other appearances at the city’s Sherman theatre in an evening intended to appeal to fans of comedy, theatre and music alike.
He will be joined by top comedienne Clare Summerskill, West End actor Dave Benson, who received plaudits for his one may Kenneth Williams show, Think No Evil, and live music from Swansea-based singer Scotty.
The “in conversation” event is being held with local arts writer Mike Smith.
“I am looking forward enormously to interviewing Russell and opening the conversation open to the audience, as I know Dr Who is one of the big conversation topics everywhere I go,” Smith said Gay.com.
“This evening will be great for Dr Who fans who can get to ask about the new series – not that I can guarantee Russell will be giving anything away!”
Tickets for the show are £15 and available from the Sherman Theatre box office on 020 2064 6900 or visiting www.shermantheatre.co.uk. Proceeds go to local advocacy group the Rainbow Project.
