Hello. I’m writing to offer my services as a visiting speaker at one of your WI meetings. I perform a 45-min one-woman show based on the memoirs of the composer and suffragette, Dame Ethel Smyth (1858-1944). More details can be found on my website:
http://www.gillstoker.com (from the main page, please click on the ‘One Woman Show’ button).
I have performed the show for many U3A groups in and around the London area, as well as two WI groups (in Fulham and Kilburn), a fundraising evening for a Soroptimists group, and for an opera company in Cornwall. I’m based in SE London.
I’d be happy to supply further details on request.
With kind regards —
Gill Stoker
