I do hope you aren’t reading this over breakfast or while you’re having your tea. The apology for the subject matter goes without saying, but you know that I like sharing everything with you!

I was very fortunate to have been in the first production of the Ladykillers at the Gielgud in Shaftesbury Avenue (the theatre where Dame Helen famously berated the Brasilian drummers while dressed as the Queen) from November 2011- April 2012 when the wonderful Peter Capaldi played Professor Marcus.  Being on stage … Read the rest »
