GERALD MAIELLO - DIRECTOR* Had a lovely conversation with Joanna Lumley and Edward Fox whilst wrapped in bandages
* I think people should be banned from reversing into parking spaceds when there is a queue of traffic behind them * I have performed in a play that had only one person in the audience...who was a friend...who left in the interval * I acquired a spoon from Her Maj having been invited to Buckingham Palace for tea in the garden * I am truly appreciative of the simple things in life *I attained a Junior Gold (Highly Commended) in tap dancing; and BAGA 4 in Gymnastics * I was a constant 'bench warmer' in football or 'left back'...in the changing room when clearly as good as Mick Harford, Luton FC * I played in a rock and roll band to promote Sealink Ferries *I was heckled in a care home for the elderly, for a performance of 'Underneath the Arches' ..."call that entertainment....when's the bingo starting" *I performed poetry, songs and sketches in the dingiest pubs around Peckham, Brixton, Lambeth, Bracknell, Camberwell and Wilsden Green. That went down well |
nicola williams - producer* I was once told by a voice teacher at a famous London drama school that I would never perform Shakespeare because of my 'Watford accent'. Yep. Innit
* I swam in a team for my secondary school. It was the only sport they could get me to do. I still swim regularly; I like to alternate the roles of Ariel/Ursula respectively * I have a habit of drying my hair an hour before I'm due to go anywhere important - particularly a wedding or holiday. It's gone wrong many times. I also cut my own fringe but let's not go there... * Gardening makes me happy. I'm relatively new to it. I haven't grown a red tomato but great at growing green ones. My mum helps me in the garden - I call her Alan Titchmarsh and she calls me Monty Don. Actually now we're just 'Al and Mont' * I have a Yorkshire Terrier who is partial to a full English on a Saturday and a roast dinner on a Sunday (please don't tell my husband - he's very strict about his diet) * I'm obsessed with buying art prints in charity shops and car boot sales. My favourite artist is Turner, especially 'Light and Colour' and 'Shade and Darkness'. I get lost in them often * I trained as a dramatherapist shortly after finishing a T.I.E 'Make Poverty History' tour around around some of the most deprived areas in England. I had a chair thrown at me from the audience and I wanted to work through the anger the piece had evoked * I won a fancy dress competition when I was 8 years old dressed as a milk bottle. I won 'best disco dancer' that year too. '88 was a good year * The Lord of the Rings' is my favourite film trilogy. I wrote my third year dissertation on it * I love British comedy, especially Only Fools, Ab Fab and The Office. I'd love to meet Jennifer Saunders and Ricky Gervais in particular and thank them for making me so happy |
KERRY* I love this theatre company. We are AWESOME
* I also love Tom Hardy. Purely for his acting ability obviously. But....honestly, just look at him ! * I am a fully qualified Swedish massage, Indian head massage and Reflexology therapist * I want to live by the sea, preferably somewhere in Cornwall, and own chickens * I am fascinated by the paranormal and believe 100% in ghosts and reincarnation * If I could go back in time I would be a Victorian music hall singer in the East End, being a Hackney girl I'd have to stick to my roots * I was conker champion twice in middle school. I had the gnarliest conker ever and I have no idea how it didn't break * I made two adults - they used to be babies but when I wasn't looking they grew up far too quickly. They are my greatest achievement, I brought them up alone and I am very proud of the men they have become * I am a crazy cat lady. I've had a total of 17 cats in my lifetime (so far). I currently have a long haired white beauty called George who is very laid back, and a mad black and white girl called Lily - I call her either Lulu (no idea why, it just came out of my mouth one day) or Cow because she looks like one and she is very naughty! * I hate cheese. I mean I REALLY hate cheese. Just the thought.....eugh |
