You may recognise Mike from our more recent productions or with other local groups. I asked him a few questions so we could find out a little more about him. We hope you enjoy reading his answers.
When did you join Churchdown players?
In 2019, when I appeared in Snow White and the 7 Ugly Sisters. This show will be my third with the players, but my first straight play.
Have you been in any other drama groups?
Yes quite a few including another Churchdown group, St Johns, where I have been a member for 35 years
Can you remember the first production you were in and who you played?
Yes, a play called “Love in a Mist”. I can’t remember the character name, just that he was a Cornish Fisherman. To be fair, it was about 45 years ago!
What has been your favourite character that you have played?
William Tyndale. He was a Gloucestershire man who made the first protestant translation of the Bible into English. The play was called ‘Anne Boleyn’ - about her rise and tragic fall.
Who do you play in the Hound of the Baskervilles?
Barrymore, the Butler to the Baskerville family
Can you tell me a little about the character you play?
His family have served at Baskerville Hall for four generations and as the Butler he looks after everything involved in running the house now, but is he or isn't he up to no good? He may well be, like many of the characters, hiding a sinister secret…. You'll have to buy a ticket to find out!
Which would you rather be, a hero or a villain?
Villain every time. It's so much fun when you can get a reaction from the audience. For the same reason I also like doing comedy.
