An Evening of Ellen Dryden

An Evening of Ellen Dryden is a heartfelt memorial tribute celebrating the life and works of playwright Ellen Dryden, known for her impactful contributions to television, radio, and the West End. The evening features rehearsed readings from her plays, performed by her favorite actors, including her daughter Lucy Ratcliffe and son Jonathan Dryden Taylor, under the direction of Stephen Oswald.

Dryden, who resided in Chiswick for many years, was a significant figure in the community, co-founding Chiswick Youth Theatre with her husband, Don Taylor. This special event aims not only to honor her legacy but also to support a charitable cause.

All proceeds from the performance will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Society in Ellen’s memory.
