Malcolm Bentote
Member from 1967 to present
Bio
I made my debut as Sam Leadbetter in This Happy Breed in May 1967 and have appeared regularly since then. My first leading part was in Haul for the Shore. My favourite musicals are Salad Days and Pickwick. My claim to fame is that I have appeared as both Lord Arthur Savile (at Cannonbury Players) and as Baines (his man) in Lord Arthur Savile's Crime.
