Julian Curry unites his twin passions of wine and theatre in HIC! or The Entire History of Wine (abridged).
As an
actor, he is well known to TV audiences as Claude Erskine-Brown
in the popular series Rumpole of the Bailey [available
at amazon.co.uk
He also has wide ranging stage and screen credits, including leading roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company, at the National Theatre and in London’s West End. Most recently for the RSC, he led the company in G.B.Shaw's Back to Methuselah. Summer 2005 he was at the Regent's Park Open air Theatre, playing Cymbeline in Cymbeline and Badger in The Wind in the Willows.
Other favourite stage roles include Antonio in The Merchant of Venice, Angelo in Measure for Measure, Billy Rice in The Entertainer, Danforth in The Crucible, The Man in Samuel Beckett's Company, Captain Brazen in The Recruiting Officer, Sergius in Arms and the Man, Herrenstein in Thomas Bernhart's Elizabeth II, and The Cardinal in The Duchess of Malfi.
His numerous TV credits include Inspector Morse, Sherlock Holmes, A Fine Romance, The Misanthrope, The New Statesman, King Lear, and Kavanagh QC. Most recently The Wyvern Mystery, The Cappuccino Years, The Hunt, Midsomer Murders, Margaret and The Brief.
Among
his many films are The Missionary, Fall from Grace, Lochness,
Rasputin, Seven Days to Live, and John Huston's Escape to
Victory.
This last involved the very great thrill of
working with Pele! [some
titles available at Amazon.co.uk
He is also a free lance member of the Circle of Wine Writers. Some time ago he sat the wine trade exams, and holds a Diploma from the Wine and Spirit Education Trust. His recently released Naxos audiobook A Guide to Wine
(Available at many bookshops or from www.amazon.com)
has been greeted with excellent reviews. Sue Arnold (The Guardian 20.09.03) wrote "At last, a manual about wine that makes you want to splash out on a bottle of vintage claret - not to show off, just to enjoy. If only all teachers shared Julian Curry’s infectious enthusiasm … If this were a bottle, Robert Parker would give it 99".
The Observer: "A charming lubricated conversation between Julian Curry and his listener about the virtues of wine".
Sunday Times: "Up to date and informative, practical and unpretentious."
The Sunday Independent: "This is not a set for wine anoraks - and that is precisely its charm. You listen to Curry because he knows how to talk, and his conviction shines through."
