A quick life update!

Sorry fellow Bloggers and readers, I have seemed to let this side of my life down a little, but do not fear! I am still here and hope to fill you in very quickly about what is going on in my life and what is too come!

1) I have now left Christ's Hospital where I was Actor & Director in Residence and moved back to Manchester

2) I have just finished a tour of 'Nothing to Hide' playing several roles for Altru Drama, the same company I worked on 'Evening with Gary Lineker' with. The show was designed for Year 7's and gave them an insight into being a victim of crime and the safe use of Facebook, I had an awesome time and met some crazy kids throughout our adventure. Much love to Joe Simpson (What a fab director) Kate Gorst (A fab boss to work for and a mate for life) Lisa Mather (what a great actress - good luck eating dog ;op ) and Faye McLoughlin (who was a fab if not annoying sister...just don't go on the motorway with her!)


3) I am currently working on a world premier of a new show called 'Bright is the Ring of Words' by Jeffrey Mayhew (Who also co-stars) It is being directed by award winning playwright Julian Garner and will be at The Edinburgh Festival this year. We will be performing at Below one of the more intimate venues at The Pleasance Courtyard. The show will cost just 10 small pounds of your hard earned money and will be performed every day of the festival (apart from the 17th August...even we need a day off every now and then.) at 3:25pm.

4) If you can't make the festival or are in the southern hemisphere then why not see the show in London on the 14th/15th/16th July at 7:30pm at The Pleasance: Islington.

5) I will keep a rehearsal dairy about the show on here so do please keep reading, and I promise to keep it updated...honest.

6) Finally just two days ago I found out I had got my first Pro Panto gig, and although it is not in the role I would have loved (The Dame) I am still really excited to be involved and can't wait...I can let you know that the Panto is Dick Whittington and stars Rowetta (from The X-Factor and former member of The Happy Mondays) as Queen Rat, Andy Scott-Lee (Pop Idol, Hear'say and brother of Lisa Scott-Lee from Steps.) The production runs at the Grange Theatre in Northwhich, Cheshire from the 10th December until the 3rd January. Visit http://www.halleproductions.com/ for more info and to book your tickets!
