Happy New Year! I am delighted to announce I will be joining the company for Alan Ayckbourn's forthcoming tour of his 1987 play 'Henceforward...' which will visit UK theatres in January and February 2017. I will be understudying the parts of Zoe (played by Laura Matthews) and Corinna (played by Jacqueline King).

 

All alone, high up in an isolated, derelict suburban tower block, avant-garde composer Jerome struggles vainly to complete his life's masterwork about love.

With the help of a deranged android childminder, Jerome hatches a cunning plan to retrieve his source of artistic inspiration, his beloved daughter Geain, from her mother, his hostile estranged ex-wife.

But the best laid plans of men and mechanical women...

A new revival directed by the author, Alan Ayckbourn's classic comedy was first produced in Scarborough in 1987 and subsequently at the Vaudeville Theatre, London in 1988 starring Ian McKellen and Jane Asher, where it won the Evening Standard Best Comedy Award.

 

'Henceforward...' will tour to Yvonne Arnaud Guildford, Royal & Derngate Northampton, Theatre Royal Windsor and Cambridge Arts Theatre in January and February 2017. Hope to see you there!
