Howard Burnham: New Site, New One-Man Plays

He's a friend of mine, but I believe I nevertheless can opine objectively that Howard Burnham is one of the most gifted and interesting theatrical performers currently blending the joint themes of history and literature onstage. An Englishman now residing in Columbia, SC, he has intently researched, written and delivered invaluable portrayals of such diverse characters as C.S. Lewis, Gen. John Burgoyne, Lord Charles Cornwallis, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Charles Dickens and Capt. Edward Smith of the Titanic. I was delighted to learn of his new Web site: www.howardburnham.com. Doubly delighted that he's adding a touch of Sherlockian lore to his repertoire: "Dr. Watson on Sherlock Holmes."

Howard performs primarily on the East Coast. Do attend, if he's booked for a presentation near you. (If not . . . book him.)
