1st performance as Lennie this afternoon in the beautiful space that is Theatre By The Lake. Looking forward to performing with this amazing cast.

Finally watched the first 2 eps of #DaredevilBornAgain  A little rough and slow but there is promise of growth and development as we continue. Carrying the same energy of the last seasons that hopefully this re-quel will reveal as we go further. DD is born again.

Tonight is our first performance at Hull Truck Theatre for @derbytheatre.bsky.social adaptation of Steinbeck’s Of Mice & Men. Looking forward to performing on the Saturday Matinee this week alongside a wonderful cast and team.

A theatrical poster for Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. The title is displayed in bold, distressed yellow text on a black background. Below, star reviews from various theatre critics, including The Stage, East Midlands Theatre, Derby World, Beyond the Curtain, and Theatre & Tonic are prominently featured. The lower half of the image shows a stage scene with two actors. One actor is sitting on the floor wearing a beige shirt and suspenders, while the other stands nearby wearing a blue jacket. The set features large wooden barn doors opening onto a glowing orange backdrop. The lighting creates a dramatic and intimate atmosphere.

Great full rehearsal run of the show and playing Lennie. The cast & team are top tier. Really looking forward to sharing this show with this astounding company @derbytheatre.bsky.social

Rest in peace David Lynch. The Elephant Man & Blue Velvet were my favourite but this scene from Lost Highway always got me.

Beautiful afternoon in Nottingham with the couple I’m staying with for the first leg of the show. A magnificent city full of rich history, pulping art and style as well as the legend that was Brian Clough.

Grabbed myself a copy of the book for both research and good omen 🐁

Pumped from the gym, got my dose of caffeine and now ready to begin on this beast today with a great team of @derbytheatre.bsky.social and cast. Enjoying Derby so far.
Thank you Pride in Performance for the support. ❤️🐁

Next week, it begins 🐁❤️

ust met William Fincher at The Wharf. Really nice guy

The location at Allerton Castle was beautiful and really helped build the vibe of the music video. The band were really friendly and cool. There was no egos and they had many conversations with the cast and laughs.
