Christmas Flowers South Africa - David Morrissey on taking part in a weekend of Christmas events in Liverpool and his charity work in Lebanon and South Africa

Catherine Jones talks to actor David Morrissey about coming home

IT’S lights, camera, action – literally – for David Morrissey when he returns home to Liverpool this weekend to take part in some suitably seasonal events. Or maybe that should be lights, camera, Dickens?

The actor is set to switch on the christmas flowers south africa lights in Crosby tonight (a first for him) before attending a special screening of his movie Don’t Worry About Me at the Plaza cinema.

Then on Sunday he’s set to take part in the annual Penny Readings at St George’s Hall.

“I try to pack it in when I’m up there,” he explains. “And that’s certainly what’s happened this weekend.

“And then on top of all that I try to see my family as well and make sure I’m not neglecting them.”

While David was born in Kensington, these days the Morrissey clan lives up the road in Crosby, one of the key locations in the film he directed and which was made by independent film production company Tubedale Films, founded in the late 1990s with his brother Paul. So when the Plaza suggested a screening he leapt at the chance.

Meanwhile it’s also the 47-year-old’s first Penny Readings and a return to the Small Concert Room at St George’s Hall, the scene of an In Conversation he did with Club Geek Chic in November last year.

He was invited to take part in Sunday’s festive celebration by Dr Jane Davis who heads The Reader Organisation which runs the Penny Readings – as usual a sell-out again this year christmas flowers south africa blogs .
