October 2013 - The Diary

More travel and exciting auditions and commenced rehearsals for my role of The Duke in THE MERCHANT OF VENICE with Attune Theatre. Directed by Stewart Schiller the show has been truncated and set in 2013 Las Vegas. Our first preview night was on 28th October at Stereo in Glasgow
Now the show moves to The Lost Theatre in Stockwell, London. Great to be back on stage after 6 years in film & television and delighted to once again return to Shakespeare after a gap of 17 years!! Really looking forward to my London stage debut now as well and it's a cracking venue
In between a football trip to Vienna with the Scotland Writers FC and rehearsals for 'Merchant' I managed to squeeze in an episode of the BBC/Shed Productions WATERLOO ROAD in which I play a Pawnbroker in a nice little scene. Lovely to see so many familiar faces working on the show from the past and a really nice experience working again with Shed. Having tried out a few times for the show I was so pleased to finally work on it and return to my old family 'seat' of Greenock!
