Hi. I saw your theatrical CV and was impressed. I'm currently rehearsing Dial M for Murder in Hamburg.

Regards,

Hi Mat. That sounds like a really interesting play to do. What is your role in the production? Hope all is going well with it.

Hi David,

I'm playing Inspector Hubbard. Its a pretty good play and hopefully a bit less stiff than the 1954 Hitchcock film. It's going OK. We're off-book now and it goes up on 11th Feb.

I also auditioned for a musical called Into the Woods with Hamburg University (although I can't really sing). I decided to make myself do it anyway. Needless to say I didn't get a role but that allowed me to audition for Dial M.

I saw that you're going to be the Genie. Must be fun to do a panto.

It's my first ever panto, and rehearsals have been a lot of fun (as well as a lot of hard work - we were at the theatre from 10am to 9pm today).

Going off book is always a worrying, yet liberating thing, I think. You worry that you might forget stuff, but at the same time, you're free to move and emote in ways that you just can't with script in hand.

I've found that. Can actually get on with the job now I know the lines.

Had a publicity photo-shoot last night in costume. Was nice, even though they're all very posed photos.
