The following clips have been up on YouTube for a little while but I didn’t post them here at the request of the director. However, it’s now been long enough and with the play itself preparing to re-launch for Edinburgh 2010, I wanted to give you a taste of what it was like for those who made it to the Union Theatre as we transported them back to July 2005…

This clip features Susanna Fiore and myself in my favourite scene from the play (mainly because I get to act like the office jackass):

This is a great scene between two fantastic actors: Charlotte ‘Lottie’ Flintham and Benjamin Peters. Lottie’s character (George) is the office new girl, trying to get on in journalism. Ben’s character (James) is the editor of the newspaper and wants the new girl to ‘keep an eye’ on her colleagues for him…

Whatever you may think of London’s free papers, virtually all publicity is good publicity when you’re in fringe theatre.

To that end, our lovely press ladies got us into a number of publications including the London Lite, a free newspaper which runs listings for upcoming shows.

If you’ve seen the play, you can now let Upstart  Theatre know what you think of Oh Well Never Mind Bye by Steven Lally simply by clicking the link below:

Write a review of Oh Well Never Mind Bye

I’ll update the blog shortly about Press Night and the joys of sitting opposite Michael Billington from The Guardian while he reviewed the show we’re were performing.

The Union Theatre and Upstart are running a special offer for tonight’s show of Oh Well Never Mind Bye at The Union Theatre in Southwark, London featuring me!

If you phone the Union Theatre Box Office on 0207 261 9876 and quote ‘Friends Offer’, you can get two tickets for the price of one.

The show starts at 7:30pm and the theatre is at 204 Union Street, London, SE1 0LX.

See you there!

I’m pleased to let you know that the folks behind Upstart Theatre – for whom I’m currently working – will be on Resonance FM on Thursday 11th June at 8pm to discuss the upcoming play and the issues that surround it.

You can tune in to Resonance on Thursday either online at ResonanceFM.com or on 104.4FM within the London area.
