Talk by Pete Allen, Arts Development Officer at Elmbridge Borough Council. Although best known for writing the stories that are the source of the classic musical ‘Guys and Dolls’, Damon Runyon’s unique style and use of language, has entered our everyday speech. If your boss give you the 'heave-ho'? Your favourite TV stars have charm 'in spades'? Or your football club, ‘brought in the dream team'? Then they did so talking ‘Runyonese’. This is the story of the man who turned gambling, gangsters, guys and dolls into the stuff of legend…and is the responsible for Pudsy the Bear! Admission £3. Tickets available at the door.
