Morgan Freeman to speak at the Oxford Union

Morgan Freeman will be speaking at the Oxford Union on November 11th.

His visit was announced at last night’s Thursday debate, the subject of which was ‘This House has no confidence in Her Majesty’s Government’.

Freeman is speaking as part of the Union’s new partnership with the Screen Actors’ Guild (SAG) Foundation.

Union President Mayank Banerjee said, “We are delighted to announce the first of what we hope will be a long and successful partnership with the SAG Foundation. It is an absolute honour to host Morgan Freeman at the Union and we genuinely think there has never been a better term to be become a member.

“We hope to announce more speakers over the coming few days and encourage you to keep checking our social media for updates.”

The star of recent children’s film The Lego Movie joins fellow acting royalty Ian McKellan (November 3rd) on a termcard which includes a number of important figures from the world of film and TV, including producers from break-out hit Game of Thrones.
