I Stole Someone’s Food Whilst In Their House

You know how when you get a prescription from the doctor and it’s just a scribble, but the pharmacist knows what it says, and they give you the right stuff, except that these days the prescription is printed from a computer, so that piece of observational comedy is irrelevant? Well, when you order a takeaway… Continue reading I Stole Someone’s Food Whilst In Their House

Green Highlighter

Having a full script from day one is a bit of a novelty, after doing plays that were written around the cast as the rehearsals moved on.

While congratulating each other earlier today, I suggested to Kristen (playing Givola aka Goebbels in the play) that we could… Continue reading A Serious Message Through The Medium Of Rhyme

I’ve been cast as Arturo Ui in the play The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui by Bertholt Brecht. As you can see, it’s the title role and as a result I’m very very pleased and excited. Thank you Mike (my beloved director)! Written in 1941 the play, according to the back of the script, is… Continue reading Here We Go Again
