Peter&#8217;s daughter Sarah will be in attendance, as well as director Joe McGrath (&#8216;The Magic Christian&#8217;, &#8216;The Great McGonagall&#8217;), co-stars Liz Fraser (&#8216;I&#8217;m Alright Jack&#8217;, &#8216;Two-Way Stretch&#8217;) and Francoise Pascal (&#8216;There&#8217;s A Girl in My Soup&#8217;, &#8216;Soft Beds, Hard Battles&#8217;), and Goon record producer Marcel Stellman. In addition, Julian Dutton, who&#8217;s book &#8216;Keeping Quiet: Visual Comedy in the Age of Sound&#8217; was published recently, will discuss Peter&#8217;s physical clowning. There will also be copious rare clips of Peter in interview and in character. The fun kicks off at 7.30pm., and tickets can be bought by telephoning: 0207 720 6897, or on the door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Sellers would have celebrated his 90th birthday today.
