4th August 2017

A 4-star review of 'Into the Woods' by Peter Alexander:

At the play's heart are The Baker (played by Eu Jin Hwang) and The Baker's Wife (Lori Flannigan) who, to paraphrase Eric Morecombe, "play all the right notes in the right order" and are solely responsible for breaching my floodgates with their moving duets It Takes Two and their respective solos No More and Moments in the Woods."

30th July 2017

If you go down to the woods today… you might get more than you wished for. Fairy tale characters meet and clash as they pursue their happily ever afters. There are lessons to be learnt, dangers to avoid and dreams to be chased in the woods. What happens after happily ever after? Contentment? Happiness? Or, more wishing? In the woods, as in life, it’s easy to stray from the path. There are consequences, responsibilities… and a rather annoyed giantess to deal with.

Theatre: Assembly Hall, Mound Place, EH1 2LU


23rd June 2017

I will be performing in "Atlantic: A Scottish Story" on selected dates from 3rd to 28th August at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017!

Is it a curse to stay? What if we couldn’t travel, could never leave home and see the world? Can we still be happy? A girl looks across the ocean and longs to discover. But if she is left behind, she must still find a way to live. With a rich, soaring score and dynamic storytelling, Atlantic: A Scottish Story is the first in a unique, two-part collaboration between the prestigious American Music Theatre Project at Northwestern University in Chicago, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and award-winning musical theatre partnership Noisemaker.
