“One Man Bond: Every Bond Film In 60 Minutes” – First Tour Dates announced

By John Freeman on April 30, 2018

One Man Bond: Every Bond Film In 60 Minutes chronicles over half a century of the most successful movie franchise in history and is on tour this year, with stops at the Greater Manchester Fringe Festival and the Lakes International Comic Art Festival in October on the schedule.

The show was recently staged in Manchester, Chester, Oldham, Blackpool, the world famous Pinewood Studios (home of the Bond movies), and at the 2018 Starburst Media City Festival in Salford.

One Man Bond: Every Bond Film In 60 Minutes is written by, and stars, Brian Gorman as over 200 characters, including every James Bond from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig, including M, Moneypenny, Q, and the infamous villains Dr No, Goldfinger, Blofeld, Mr Big, Scaramanga, Jaws, and Raul Silva. It is a whirlwind tour of every cinematic adventure of the world’s favourite secret agent, and his often outlandish missions to save the world time and time again.

This unique production takes the audience from the groovy, psychedelic sixties of the super smooth Sean Connery, through to the modern day bone-crunching, and ultra realistic, Daniel Craig.

Manchester-based Brian Gorman is a life-long Bond fan, having read all the Ian Fleming novels as a child in the 1970s, and seeing every movie dozens of times. He wrote, and co-produced, the highly-acclaimed stage play, New Dawn Fades: A Play About Joy Division & Manchester which has toured nationally for the last 5 years, and played to capacity audiences and standing ovations.

He also wrote and drew the recent graphic novels Everyman: A Celebration of Patrick McGoohan & The Prisoner, and Borderliners: True Realities (published by Invisible Six Books).

Brian was born in Wigan, and studied for a degree in English and Art at Chester College in the 1990s; he then worked at the Chester Gateway Theatre for 12 years, and appeared on stage in a variety of productions including the hugely popular ‘Bouncers’.
