Every year I take on and build a new life skill. This year, I’ve been diving into performance.

It was my great pleasure to play as the Boatswain and Iris the sprite with the Nottingham Shakespeare Company for The Tempest, touring Nottinghamshire and packing 11 performances into nine days.

I’ve learned a great deal about performance and voice projection, and every minute of working with such a talented and merry team was a joy.

I look forward to more acting in the future, having been accepted to perform in the immersive theatre production of The Trials of Robin Hood with Chronic Insanity Theatre Productions.
