Oh! I'd love to see this, but I'm down in Munich. Don't suppose they'll do a little tour? Did like the The tragedy of intro. Very apt.

Hamburg University Players present Richard III

Who is playing Hastings?

can the mod who merged the topics please also delete my link from earlier today - otherwise you end up in the same thread and that looks a bit stupid...
ta.

Hastings is being played by John Kirby. Sorry, we will not be on tour. Just two weeks here in Hamburg.

John Kirby is great. Have seen him at a Poe-Reading at the Irish Rover in October or November, he was brilliant.
Also got to talk to him at the leaving do of Mat's acting teacher, Mark Clifton, he was very entertaining, telling some odd acting-stories

Who's playing the Archbishop ??

hahaaa. you're funny

But you are actually right, he's much too modest to mention it.

Here's the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Are you going, lazybum?

Am also wondering if anybody will tape it - think Mark would be proud to see so many of his students in this play...

I'll try to get along there...

I'm in the latest HP one, Lettice and Lovage... just a walk on part but it should be fun!
I emailed the UP to ask to go on the mailing list but didn't hear anything so maybe you could get Mat to ask for me?

Who else is in it??

Note to self: check the HP for the next play.
We'll surely be there!

I'll ask Mat about the mailing list (if they have one...???).

Who else, good question, Mat told me who was at the rehearsals, but I get it all mixed up who's actually in the play, I think Bogdan and Adrés are in and Courtney, but am not entirely sure. Mat hasn't got Internet at work at the moment, but I'll ask him to answer to this thread from home tonight.

Yes, Bogdan, Andres and Courtney are all in it.

I am indeed playing The Archbishop of Canterbury. Jake W from TT is the other bishop, Ely.

Opening night is just 4 nights away... be prepared for blood, betrayal, sex appeal and sword fighting!

Well, if one of them breaks a leg out there tonight, I hope they look good in one of your costumes doing so!

Mat surely does! I've already seen photos, great costume!

Thing is: he's playing a 78 year old guy... Every evening he has to take the bus back home with this grey spray stuff in his hair and people giving him funny looks... hihi.

Have been to the premiere yesterday and was really impressed.

I must admit that I basicly went to support Mat, and was thinking Richard III in English might be a bit hard for me, and probably pretty boring, but it was really good and time passed very quickly.
Some very talented actors there, I really enjoyed myself.

Well done guys!

I agree, it's a wonderful show, and I'm not just saying that because I am involved with it. =0)

Sorry, I was abroad when you responded. Regards to John Kirby.

Will he know you when we say "Regard from Sin in Munich"?

Last chance to see it tonight if anyone fancies it.

A wonderful performance!

Didn't expect someone to 'die' every 10 min though
Keep posting if there are another projects coming out, I'd love to see.
