14 BBC CLASS ACT - ACTORS SHOWCASE

Credits

From an early age I had a passion for all things Media-related, Film, Radio, Theatre & Journalism and chief among those has always been my interest in films and the craft and theory behind how to be an actor. The “Method” technique is my favourite. For the past ten years I have been an active member of The Abbey Theatre, St Albans. This is probably the most respected amateur theatre group in the area. It was formed in the 1930s and has been at its current location since the late 1960s. In 2008 I was part of the cast of A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. These days I find myself being part of the crew. I have covered sound, lighting and been ASM on various productions including: The Constant Wife, The Price, Ride Down Mount Morgan, Parlour Song, Wuthering Heights, Twelfth Night, Burial at Thebes, Juliet and Her Romeo. I am currently preparing to ASM for the company`s production of The Effect by Lucy Peebles. I also have experience of presenting on a local community radio station in St Albans.
