November 2014 - The Diary

Rehearsals began in earnest for 'Letters To Aberlour' at the lovely village of Coldingham., with our first night preview at the village hall. A fantastic start and we moved to Carlops Village Hall and another lovely audience and tight show. Then it was a long drive north to play Garmouth & Kingston village hall and an emotional return to St Margaret's Church in Aberlour itself, followed by the rededication of the WW1 memorial on the same weekend.

We completed our northern tour in Portgordon, before playing another of my 'bucket list of theatres', the wonderful Glasgow Panoptican, where Stan Laurel made his debut! We rounded off this part of the tour with a great show in Ednam village hall followed by a couple of local school visits in costume which went down well with the children.

Next up was a brilliant wee short film by Jack Willison, 'Don Alfonso Chadwick', in which I play another malevolent character. Great cast and young crew and look forward to seeing the results.
