Armand Gaillard
Hailing from a theatrical and musical background, Armand is a 'natural' where entertainment is concerned. For many years now, his diversity of skills, particularly in directing productions, has been much sought after, both north nad south of the border.
In order to achive a life-long ambition, Armand decided some years ago to write and direct his own material and so was born his first highly succesful hilarious comedy -"The Spinner's Ball".
With the high accolade and demand which followed, Armand had to quickly pen the equally successful sequel - "The Weddin' of Lily Thompson".
By now, Armand's plays had attracted quite a 'cult' following and in order tov satisfy their insatial demands, "Love Knows no Right-a-Way" was written and again proved to be another very successful hit.
"My Final Destiny" a tragi-comedy became the first more serious type play for Armand, but in an effort to keep the fans happy, the much awaited "Uncle Tommy's Wake" just had to materialise!
