When a CAA Member’s gig previously featured on the “Member’s Gig Guide Page” has passed it’s performance date/s, starting in 2022 and within parameters, instead of being deleted it will be moved to this archive page.
This is in order to preserve the search engine benefit gained by both The Club and member alike. However, recurring events will only be archived once per year for the reason of unintentional spamming accusation by the same.

MONTGOMERY CLIFT
Montgomery Clift was a four times academy nominee, known for his portrayal of moody sensitive young men, perhaps best remembered for his performance as Private Powell in Fred Zinneman’s ‘From Here to Eternity.’ In which he co-starred with Frank Sinatra. Yet despite his huge talent, he suffered deep insecurities and was only saved from death, following a horrendous car crash by the intervention of his close friend Elizabeth Taylor. Clift is considered a giant of post war cinema whose story is both remarkable and engrossing. Come and meet the ‘real’ Montgomery Clift in Nigel Coleman’s fascinating one man play!
