The centennial of author, actor, and playwright Robert Shaw falls on August 9th, 2027. On August 9, 1927, at 51 King Street in Westhoughton, Greater Manchester, Robert was born to Dr. Thomas Archibald Shaw and Doreen Nora Shaw (née Avery).

Westhoughton, Robert’s birthplace, will host a series of events on August 7th and 8th, 2027, to commemorate his centenary. Still at the planning stage. 

We will post confirmed event details accordingly.

Confirmed guest at this stage. Ryan Dacko, author of 'The Book of Quint' and host of the 'Jaws Obsession' podcast.
