I appeared in 2022 as Telegin in a brand new version of Anton Chekhov’s celebrated 1897 classic, ‘Uncle Vanya’ at the Old Red Lion Theatre London, directed by award-winning film director Kieran Bourne for Candid Broads Productions. My most recent screen appearance was as the Grumpy Farmer in the Netflix series ‘Wednesday’ directed by the celebrated Tim Burton. I created the role of Peter Wilson, accompanist and orchestral arranger, in brand new British musical, 'Are You As Nervous As I Am', about the life and times of fictional Welsh singer Peggy Starr, produced by Simon Spencer, directed by Phoebe Barran, with music by Leighton James House and lyrics by Sean McKenna. This played at Greenwich Theatre in Oct 2022. I continue to coach and teach at Actors East in Dalston (https://www.actorseast.com) London. |
