That’s me, third from the left in the photo above. It was taken this past weekend at the Middle Temple, one of the famous Inns of Court in London, and where the first recorded performance of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. I was working with an historic dance and drama company called Nonsuch to perform a Candelmas celebration. […]
7 Ways to Still Be Productive When You Really Can’t be F*cked
I’m having one of those days today where I really just feel like shutting off the computer, fishing out the Love Film DVD’s which have been waiting to be watched, putting on my pj’s, making some tea and flaking on the sofa. A proper slobby day. Isn’t that what we think of actors doing a […]
Luck Has Nothing To Do With It
A couple of random events have converged over the last 24 hours to make me give some thought to the so called influence of ‘Luck’ on a career in the Arts. I wrapped up the show I was doing in the West End just over a week ago. This has given me a few days […]

This has been the busiest period I’ve had as an […]
Keep the Faith – Believing in Your Abilities
Hello my lovelies, well my show has opened. In fact we’re almost halfway through the short run already. It was a total whirlwind learning this large role in a week and was a good test for me to see if I could actually do it. I’m glad to say that I succeeded in learning everything […]
Life Upon The Wicked Stage
It looks like I am taking to the stage. Like a fish taking to water I am excited to be ‘on the boards’ once again. It’s all come up rather suddenly (like in the past three days) and we open in two weeks’ time. So I have a lot of learning of lines and blocking […]
