It's always the way, isn't it? Make decision, go with it...and then thirty seconds later, additional info surfaces and throws all into confusion.
However, the additional info that dropped into my inbox was delightful to say the very least. Ben Hamilton has said 'yes' to taking on the part of the rather nasty, self-serving little toe-rag, Oswald: a sort Uriah Heep in the Royal Court. Oswald is as ambitious and sneaky as any of the characters, in his own way, but - and Ben will be particularly grateful for this - he doesn't have to wear a silly hat. Well, not as silly as the one in the picture.
And I also mentioned, when I published the (nearly) complete cast list that Jill would remind me if I forgot to mentio something...which she duly did! The above is shot from a play we produced in 2010 called 'Dominion'. Jill played a Siobhan (third from the right) and it was a powerhouse performance. Written by...modesty forbids, it tells the story of a woman who is dying from cancer and decides to find her husband a new partner before she passes. From the left you can see Ben Hamilton, who played Ken; Lesley Ash as Holly; Phil Scoble was Siobhan's husband Eddie; there's Jill Brock as Siiobhan; Gil Garland
played The Man...you decide who or what he was; and Jane Windsor-Smith played Kelly.
Thanks to Jill for reminding me of her, and everybody else's, fantastic dedication and belief in this play.
