An evening of conversation with actor and director Reece Dinsdale. This unique live show started out as a lockdown challenge: “As an actor I had never felt comfortable speaking publicly unless I was playing a role, so I thought I’d face a few demons by attempting to talk live online to my twitter followers. What I discovered was, that when I got started… I couldn’t stop! Reaching the age of sixty, and having been around the block at least twice, I realised I might have a tale or two to tell.” Reece’s Pieces… just a bloke beginning to find his voice. Actor and Television Director Reece Dinsdale has performed extensively in theatres across the country including his role as Walter Harrison in This House at The National Theatre, George Jones in The Absence of War for Headlong Theatre Company and the title roles in Richard III and The Master Builder Builder at Leeds Playhouse. He won a Yorkshire Award for his contribution to Arts and Entertainment after playing Alan Bennett in Untold Stories (also Leeds Playhouse). Dinsdale won the Special Jury Prize at the Geneva Film Festival for his portrayal of John Brandon in the feature film I.D. and played Guildenstern (to Tim Spall’s Rosencrantz) in Kenneth Branagh’s highly acclaimed feature film Hamlet. As well as his stage and big screen performances, Reece has starred in many high-profile TV dramas ranging from leading roles in the BAFTA award winning Threads and Jim Henson’s Storyteller, through Spooks, Life on Mars, to Joe McIntyre in Coronation Street and the hugely popular comedy series Home to Roost opposite the late John Thaw. Reece has directed Coronation Street and Emmerdale for ITV for the past few years. Reece Dinsdale is a proud patron of the The Piece Hall in Halifax who he has been working with for several years. The venue also hosts a space in memory and honour of his late father Alan Dinsdale.
