About the Cameron Lecture Series
Supported by the University of Glasgow and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, the Cameron Lecture aims to showcase and commend the special qualities of Scotland's dynamic and provocative theatre and performance creators, the unique heritage of the performing arts in Scotland and the important impact they continue to have across the globe.
Established by multi-award winning theatre director John Tiffany, this series celebrates his life-changing tutor and champion of Scottish theatre, Dr Alasdair Cameron.
Dr Cameron was remarkable, inspiring, ferociously expert and wickedly funny. His fervour for Scottish theatre stirred a generation of creators who have gone on to become influential figures of stage and screen world-wide. In 1994, Dr Cameron died after a short illness. He was 41.
