I BEGAN ACTING BY ACCIDENT: in 1986, I went along to a newly formed drama group hoping to work backstage on their first production, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Without knowing how, I found myself with a role - Theseus - and a new addiction. I am still a member of that drama group, the , but I have worked with other groups as well: the , of which I am still a member, the , and for the Arundel Festival.
Other notable landmarks in my theatrical 'career':
- 1992: First non-Villagers - and indoor! - production - Henry V
- 1993: First time as director - King Lear
- 2000: First non-Shakespeare play - Dr Who: Hellblossom
- 2002: First non-amateur production - A Midsummer Night's Dream
