Julian Sands and Neil Dickson have partnered up to present "The Standard Bearer, " a moving and funny one man, 50-minute play written by Stephen Wyatt about a Shakespearean actor on tour in West Africa. Sands directs and Dickson stars.
Julian Sands (DIRECTOR)has starred in many memorable productions. He came to the attention of NBC when the network cast him in the made-for-TV "The Sun Also Rises" and then with Anthony Hopkins in the television film "A Married Man." Sands also got notice in "Privates on Parade" and "The Killing Fields". When his funny and romantic role opposite Denholm Elliott in "A Room with a View" and his unusual role in "Gothic" were released audiences noticed him and were fascinated with his good looks and unusual but sometimes chilling appearance. He continued work on screen in "Vibes,'" " Impromptu" and Steven Spielberg's "Arachnophobia." One of his most memorable roles was Warlock, directed by Steve Miner. The film was such a major success that he returned for the terrifying sequel, "Warlock: The Armageddon." His other credits include, "Naked Lunch," "Tale of a Vampire," the title role in Dario Argento's "The Phantom of the Opera," Stephen King's "Rose Red, " "Ocean's Thirteen," "24"; and Smallville.

Neil Dickson (ACTOR) made his West End debut in London under the direction Sir John Gielgud and opposite Dame Judi Dench and Daniel Massey in "The Gay Lord Quex". He then created the role of Dean Rebel in the Mermaid Theatre production of "Trafford Tanzi", which brought him to the attention of the producers of NBC's 12-hour mini-series "Anno Domini (A.D.)" where he co-starred opposite Ian McShane, Susan Sarandon, James Mason and Ava Gardner. This led to Dickson playing the title role of James Bigglesworth in the Royal Premiere Film of "Biggles: Adventures in Time". Continuing to star in features and MOWs, Dickson finally arrived in America to star in the Universal TV series "She Wolf of London". Since then he has been seen in David Lynch's "Inland Empire", "Time Cop2", "Lost Lake", "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion" and such TV series as "Chuck", "Alias", and "Sliders".
