Ring in now with your answers.

Somebody asked me, I was doing a, I did an event at Nottingham Playhouse, sold out event at Nottingham Playhouse, two nights ago.

Yep, that was on Wednesday.

Somebody, one of the questions was, who's the biggest content politics.

And unfortunately, people may have just missed the chance to see him act on stage.

He was in a show that ran from Saturday, September 5th to Saturday, September 26th, two days ago with the Nottingham Playhouse presenting Till the Star Comes Down.

And Howard Ward played Tony in that.

Okay.

but

yeah you have to very much rethink how you play it um you can't play it quite so up you know when you're in a up and out like you're in a giant theatre like when I was whenever I'm doing anything in the big western theatres you always have to sort of imagine that you're up and out and I remember actually my director when I did Dear Evan Hansen because we were going on tour straight after that said what you're doing is brilliant for Nottingham Playhouse and don't forget it has to change when you're in the Edinburgh Playhouse and I was like yeah because it really does like you have to suddenly

make it fill that space

it's an interesting lesson for any youngsters coming up but always a good reminder for me that that you always have to just remember that whatever it is that you're doing and and and the story you're telling is more and more intimate in certain spaces and some other spaces it needs to make sure it sells to that slightly bigger auditorium

That's kind of overseeing, right? Okay, yeah, absolutely.

So I open the stage newspaper and Nottingham Playhouse is advertising for a production assistant.

Thanks very much.

That's the perfect job.

How long were you in Nottingham for?

Three years at the Playhouse, nearly, not quite three years at the Playhouse, during which time I had a fabulous time, like 24, 25, 26, living with friends, earning some money, working in my dream job with great people.

Nottingham Playhouse was a brilliant place to be then, I don't know if it still is.

Yeah, as far as I know it is.

Also, Till the Stars Come Down.

At Nottingham Playhouse, which

is your birthday.
