A Note From Nigel (Actor)
Let nobody ever tell you that an actors life is not glamorous.
I've spent the first five days of rehearsal in physical agony and mental confusion. The former due to an absolutely gruelling workshop by Naomi Said from Frantic Assembly which was designed around the problems we would encounter trying to play a dozen roles with only 5 actors. The latter after a day spent with Lewis Hancock who is an authority on Shakespeare and how to interpret the text. Very interesting and thought provoking but leaving chaos in my head; especially as I had just returned from holiday in Portugal where I had not had a single thought about anything for a fortnight.
Further to the glamorous actor's life we lead: immediately before my not at all well earned holiday I spent a fascinating two days acting in another in a long line of health and safety films, this time at Hartlepool nuclear power station.You see, glamorous.
Until the next time, best wishes and thanks for all your invaluable support.
Nigel
