Currently I am working on a self devised pieced called The Perfumers Punishment, it is set in a little village and revolves around fanaticism. Poor Elderian Thorn's peaceful life is turned up side down due to the greasiness of the villagers.
I play a work orientated gay man named Oleander who is manipulated by his partner Silvues into paying more attention to him, I got right behind this piece from the beginning as it was completely up to us student to create the world, characters, situations and story lines. so far I have very much enjoyed this play and look forward to preforming on the 15th of June 2017.
Please show your support for me and my fellow actors by coming to watch The Perfumers Punishment on the 15th of June, Tickets cost 15 and the show starts at 7pm.
To book tickets call: 01726 22671

My reflection/evaluation on Blood Brothers.

Saying goodbye to the three Mickeys was extremely hard for me because I had spent months simply getting to grips with his mannerisms. Not only that it was never a struggle with my amazing cast members supporting my three different "characters". However Callum, Myself and Freya all preformed at a world class level because we as actors grew together (in age as characters) and relationship on a professional level. I honestly never wanted the curtain to fall on Blood Brothers. it must be said that our director Val was very on board with all the cast, she understood each individuals needs and guided us accordingly, as a director she showed great leadership and a great deal of understanding of the complex writing of willy Russell. All of this coupled together created a symphony of amazement.

At first I was very "unsure" of this play, the main reason being is because the play has NO structure, I fully admit that I am a true traditionalist when it comes to theater, this was far from the lighthouse for me and the rest of the cast; purely because we had to play ourselves and not a character. This was "Indian country for me". However since preforming the piece I've really come to appreciate the intentions of Tim Etchells and his writing style, never before had I done a piece like this but one day I hope to again.
It must also be credited that Karen Burdon must be thanked for guiding me through this piece and helping me to understand how to be me on stage.

The Vackees is a little known World War 2 play about a boy named Kip and his gang which are evacuated to the countryside due to the dangers that faces them in  the burning city of London.
This was my first real challenge because I had to play someone my own age which at first I struggled with. The play itself is beautifully written and is accompanied by gentle yet meaningful songs, Josef WeinBerger deserve a much needed thanks for letting us preform his masterpiece.

Being part of the cast of Oliver was pleasure, I believe that we were a credit to ourselves and our director Val Cottrell. We proved that a group of children were more than capable of tackling adult issues. My cast members were amazing also with special thanks to Chandler Raveli and Zara Jones for allowing me to flourish on stage as Bill Sykes and to help me preform at my best because i couldn't have done it without Nancy or Fagin.

Truly playing Bill Sykes was a tough deal, not only at the time was I mid way through preparing for my GCSE'S but also had to play Noah Claypole. However this is not to say that I didn't love every second of it, I'd love to get the old cast back together and actually preform it again, but some characters are better left dead.

I jumped at the chance to direct a play which i have previously seen done differently in my favorite style of theater, i had two very responsive actors who took advice and instructions extremely well. I put my actors under extreme physical and mental tasks in things such as the warm ups, to understand their characters, get to grips with my plans and ideas for the piece and to understand the Theatre Of Cruelty and Atuard himself.

Josh is a very good director. He was very clear of his vision of the piece from the start and his warm up techniques really helped us to get into character for he genre. Another thing is he was always open for feedback from his actors which is a very good trait for a director.

I had the pleasure of working with a great deal talent in this performance, especially with Jamie Rock who played my characters partner Celia. I also really enjoyed the different setting that a classical Shakespeare piece was set in, Working in a confined space such as a shipping container was both testing and interesting.

It was a splendid performance that my actors have preformed over the last 2 nights, so much flavor, so much hunger and lots of hard work. It will be sad to forget my routine of holding rehearsals on Fridays after school and in the weekends leading up to the performance.

Personal comment: "Returning back to my old school gave me big sense of pride and achievement, the reason for this being is because over the last 4 years I have develop a lot and now I am able to pass on my skills to the young actors her at Looe Community academy. I have been presented with an amazing opportunity to Direct a beautiful play with an old friend of mine Chandler Raveli."
