Just finished the first week's run off 'Offshore' at The Citizen's Theatre in Glasgow. Although the critics have not been generous, the audiences seem to have had a good time. Am excited about touring around some beautiful places in Scotland. See 'current production' link for touring venues.

Well, it’s amazing how things turn out! As a result of having seen me in ‘The First to Go’ I have been offered a part in a new touring production by Birds of Paradise Theatre Company! And yes, it’s in Scotland.

See http://www.birdsofparadisetheatre.co.uk/ and my ‘Current Productions’ link for more info.

A busy month for auditions… it’s that time to cross my fingers and toes.

-----

Narrowly missed out on the auditions, but got some very positive feedback. It’s important to realise that you can do well, but there may be other casting issues which mean you don’t quite fit the jigsaw the producers have planned out

Following on from the Park Village Showreel Advert, freelance advertising specialist Graham Painter asked me if I would like to lead a group of advertising students from Miami in an improvisation workshop.

A fantastic couple of hours with the students – there are so many parallels with good advertising and good theatre.

Graham is a wonderful and creative man, who is in the process of writing a book about the industry. Will post details as soon as I know them!

He also tells me the advert (see my ‘multimedia’ link) has been shortlisted for a prize at Cannes!

The show went well, and was generally well received by the critics, and I am very flattered to have received some good mentions in the press – see reviews link.

The vibe in Scotland is very creative, and everyone seems to know each other. Have a feeling I will be back there before long.

The play has opened and to good feedback! A harrowing week, Nabil Shaban the writer and performer in the play broke both his legs three days before the opening, amazingly he was back for the dress rehearsal in casts! Very proud of the show and can't wait for it go to Glasgow's Tron Theatre 5th - 7th June

Rehearsals have begun for 'The First To Go'. A great team, great parts to play; Josef Goebbels (Hitler's propaganda minister),Dr Gegner (an rebellious doctor) Claus von Stauffenberg (who attempted to assassiate Hitler in a bomb plot). Play opens in Edinburgh at the Lyceum on the 23rd and 24th May. Can't wait!

Eagerly awaiting final edit of director johnathan Pearson's Showreel Ad, from the excellent www.parkvillage.co.uk
in which I play a slightly geeky middle aged man washing his car with bucket, sponge and no water...

Overjoyed to have been cast for a nationwide tour of The Tempest & Much Ado About Nothing, playing Caliban and Leonato respectively. Tours starts January '08 and runs till April - fantastic
