This week I became the King of Naples. 
I have been cast as Alonso, holder of that title, in the Bradford University Theatre Group's forthcoming production of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest', due to take place at Bradford's Theatre In The Mill on March 27-9.
I'm surprised and flattered to have been offered the role, since my previous performing experience as an actor consists of taking part in one five-minute comedy sketch that I wrote myself. But I'm certsinly going to give it my best shot. I'm even missing several Bradfotrd City 
matches in order to rehearse!
My well-known grumpy tendencies as the founder of PUDDING will be useful in playing Alonso. He spends much of the play racked with guilt and sorrow, partly because he regrets some devious political machinations in his past, but mainly because he thinks his son has drowned and blames himself. So I get to deliver some wonderfully 
, grumpy speeches.
So far, I'm really enjoying the rehearsal process, but it's going to get pretty intense over the next few weeks, culminating in two weeks when we're working on the thing every night. I hope I can stand the pace, because it's a really exciting new adventure for me!
