Seeking new acting representation. Recent screen & stage work: Odyssey (Gerard Johnson), Where I Can See Them (Lanre Malaolu), Frank Sinatra and My Dad’s Wig (Phil Pearson). DMs open / email in bio.

Extraordinary real life character observation just now in St John’s Wood. Man, late 70s, immaculately dressed. Speaking on phone: ‘Where are you Sir? I can’t see you Sir. I’m on the corner Sir. Can you see me Sir? (Now bouncing in agitation) I can’t FACKING see you Sir!’

Anyone here more familiar with Beth Steel’s body of work than me who can point me towards a monologue suitable for a 45-55 year old male? Ideally 2 mins in length 🙏🏼

I wrote something about my journey from a Leicester council estate into the performing arts on my website. Looking back I’m not quite sure how I managed it. Depressingly, it’s much harder now, adamfrith.com/worshipful-c...

Went to get some headshots done and the old dancer in me snuck out! Photos by @philsharp.bsky.social

I think Rami Malek really did not deserve the booting he got in The Times and Telegraph culture sections. It’s almost like the critics got off on it. It became more about them. I thought Oedipus at The Old Vic was genuinely FANTASTIC. A shame some may be put off going and miss out.

#Oedipus at the @oldvictheatre.bsky.social is incredible. Visceral, democratised theatre at its finest. Acting, dance, lighting, sound & use of set all packing equally powerful punches. It’s a must see event. Go!

Theatre lovers/folk - I have 5 paid Substack subscriptions (one month) to the excellent @exeuntmagazine.bsky.social to share. If interested DM me an email address and I’ll set you up 🙏🏼

Congratulations to the magnificent Anne-Marie Duff who has been made on OBE for her services to drama. I believe she spent some of her time as a student at Drama Centre being told she wouldn’t amount to much beyond some character parts. Her brilliance has proved them wrong!

1) Back in 2006 I was forced to ‘retire’ from the performing arts because, despite a successful earlier career, I was over £30k in debt with no bank of mum and dad to help bail me out.

Merry Christmas 🎄 | Happy Chanukah 🕎 - We have not stopped eating and drinking!

Just seen #Conclave. So many brilliant performances. Ralph Fiennes is sensational, but my goodness so is Lucian Msamati. No spoilers, but WHAT a scene between the pair of them!

Up at 6am to turn around a dance self tape. Very fast footwork/choreography. Proud of my 50+ year old legs for still managing it!

Soho.

We need more empathy. Disabled people are not ‘other’. The majority of able bodied people, should they live long enough shift into becoming disabled. Everyone should care about this.

Good morning Blue Skyers! A London skyline for you shot from a window in my old place. I miss that view.

What a film SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE is. Beautifully understated performances from the entire cast under the direction of Tim Mielants. The cinematography from Frank van den Eeden is out of this world. Go see!

Daytime cinema date (babysitter at home). Decadent but joyful!

As amazing as it was to watch John Lithgow, and the cast as a whole, put in a superlative performance, it is Mark Rosenblatt’s play itself which is the real star. An absolute zinger! The Royal Court is a really exciting place for theatre under David Byrne’s artistic stewardship. Bravo all round! 👏🏼

Sad I wasn’t able to photo the moon tonight so here’s some I did earlier

I’m originally from a working class background. Theatre was not for people like me. But Leicester Haymarket Young People’s Theatre changed my life and I’m proudly still at it.

Hello! Nice to meet you here! I’m a proud member of the performing arts tribe. Actors, dancers, writers, makers & creatives are my kind of brave people. It’s a ridiculous path to pursue full of self doubt, rejection and material insecurity, but it’s one of human expansion & joyful camaraderie too.
