Current Members |
|
| Member Since | Early 1991 |
| Official Role | Hon. Treasurer and Webmaster, but has also served as Secretary and Chair |
| Can Be Found | Pretty much anywhere except prompting or front of house |
| Group Stage Debut | "Death & The Maiden", July 1992 as Dr
Parry. In a particularly dodgy wig |
| Group CV | Has directed 12 productions, had 31 acting roles and a whole lot of technical backstage jobs. Plus the set and graphic design work. Occasionally all at the same time. Long-serving committee member |
| Favourite Production | There've been so many...being egotistical: mine! "Cat's Cradle", perhaps, or more recently "Haunted" |
| Favourite Role | There've also been so many...Charles in "Bedwitchery" or Haroun in "The Brides of March" were both good for a lot of frolicking about with attractive women! Oscar in "The Odd Couple" is a serious contender - it's a monster of a part to learn but very satisfying to have done, especially with Stuart providing the perfect oppo. On balance, though (and newly-favouritest) would have to be the eponymous Inspector, in "An Inspector Calls". |
| A Bit About Me | I drifted into the group rather by
accident, when offering to help out a bit whilst dating my future first
ex-wife Philippa. It started innocuously enough, working on graphics and
behind the scenes...but then it happened. Short of any other available
men of suitable age, the producer approached me with a "Would you mind
just doing a small part on stage..?". Thanks, Mary! It's been all uphill (or downhill,
depending on your perspective) ever since and the Cissbury Players have
been one of my main interests for the best part of twenty years now. It
doesn't seem that long, but I'm not being asked to do the young male
roles any more, so I suppose it must be... Outside the drama, I work in IT, spend a lot of time messing about with computers, fast bikes and listening to music nobody else likes very much. I am happily married to Sue, who can often be found helping out in front of house, and we live with four cats and a load of garden statues.  |
