September 2014 - The Diary

Thrilled to announce that I shall be playing various roles in a Scottish tour of 'LETTERS TO ABERLOUR' with New Strides Theatre Company. Really enjoyable three days of rehearsals in Edinburgh and Coldingham and got the oportunity to work on the set and tour some of the local venues we are scheduled to play from November and a lovely cast and crew. Here's a description of the story, along with cast photo and writer James Urquart (below):

'Most soldiers in the trenches in the First World War wrote letters home. But to whom do you write if you have no family? More than 200 “Old Boys” from the Aberlour Orphanage joined the war and more than 60 of them were killed. “Letters to Aberlour” is a new production which draws extensively on the letters these soldiers wrote to back to the Orphanage which for many was the only family they had ever known.'

We go back into rehearsals next month and touring community venues throughout november and december and will post tour details as we get them. I am taking on the roles of Rev Jenks, Citizen A, Benjamin Pritchard and Albert Morrison in a cast of 5, all playing multiple characters, in a play that covers 1913 - 1967...quite a challenge!
