UNSUNG HEROES

ME AND HIM AND WHO

A photo with my very talented cast Gary Downie played by Paul Antony and John Nathan Turner played by Richard Unwin at the end of a very well-received run of Me and Him and Who. The photo was taken by our brilliant director Sean Mason. Thanks also to our indefatigable producer Gareth Kavanagh without whom none of this would have happened. A tour is being planned. I cross my fingers it comes off.
