Who is Geoffrey Howse?
Geoffrey Howse is a British actor and author.
The son of Herbert and Doreen Howse, he grew up at Ebenezer Place in the village of Elsecar situated about nine miles north of Sheffield equidistant between Rotherham and Barnsley, in the middle of the great estate surrounding historic Wentworth Woodhouse. Geoffrey was educated at Elsecar Church of England Infants School and Elsecar Church of England Junior School. In 1965 the Howse family moved up the hill to Hoyland. Geoffrey attended Kirk Balk School from 1967–1973 and was also tutored privately. Between 1973-75 he attended Barnsley School of Art and from 1975-1978 studied acting at Mountview Theatre School, which included a stint at the National Film School.
Geoffrey's acting career was overshadowed by his involvement in theatrical production and thanks to Barrie Stacey he 'cut his teeth' booking many well known acts of the 1970s and 80's, such as Frankie Vaughan, Semprini, The Bachelors, Frankie Howerd, Bob Monkhouse and Don MacLean. Between the occasional acting engagement Geoffrey ventured into the production of comedies, farces, musicals and pantomimes, touring to theatres throughout the United Kingdom, principally through Cavalcade Productions and Scorpio Productions. Between 1992 and 1994 he worked as a feature writer and critic for the internationally renowned theatrical magazine Plays & Players.
