I am delighted to offer you his five pages of details of performances

THE
PETER WARLOCK SOCIETY INVITES YOU TO
A
PETER WARLOCK CHRISTMAS
a
New Play by Alex Clissold-Jones with Benedict Holme as Warlock on
Saturday
31 October 2009 at 4pm and 7.30pm
at St Stephen’s Church, Gloucester Road, London SW7 4AL
by kind permission of the Vicar, Revd R F Bushau
Tickets
on the door £5 (Senior citizens, students, PWS members £4)
It is hoped the audiences may care to meet the cast between the
shows at the nearby Stanhope Tavern, Gloucester Road, London SW7

(Tel 020 7373 4192) where good food and drinks are available.
This will be the first London performance of the play premièred
at New College, Oxford last December
Synopsis
On
17th December 1930, the composer and critic Philip Heseltine, better
known by his pseudonym Peter
Warlock, was found dead in his London flat from gas poisoning. We
join Warlock on the previous evening – a cold and foggy night
– in his local London pub, the Duke of Wellington.
The
words of Bruce Blunt, from a BBC Home Service programme, December
1944:
Peter
Warlock was only a pen-name at first, but latterly used it for every
purpose. This started the extraordinary legend that he was really
two persons in one, and that the sinister Peter Warlock eventually
destroyed the gentle Philip Heseltine. It’s time this myth
was forgotten. Anyone who has any
character at all has many sides to that character, and so it was
with Philip. He had great charm and a brilliant mind, but these
are not enough. Like other people with the quality of true greatness,
he was very modest. He never put on airs. And his was a most generous
spirit.
In the Peter Warlock Society Newsletter 84, Bruce Phillips
wrote:
‘The
best thing about the evening was the chance to hear some of Warlock’s
wonderful solo songs and six suberb carols (for eight-part choir).
The singing was of a very high standard. ... The tour de force of
the production as far as the acting was concerned was Benedict Holme’s
accomplished
performance as the mercurial Warlock, ranging from exultation to
despair.’
