CAREER HISTORY

Although I spent most of my working life outwith the boundaries of the professional Theatre, I was very active in Amateur Drama. I also studied in Glasgow under the direction of the late Muriel Robertson, Drama Coach and sat the examinations of the London Academy of Music and Drama and awarded a Gold Medal (in Acting) in 1959.

I also performed under the guidance of many professional Directors, including Bill Murray, former Head of Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow. One of the highlights of my career was appearing at the Minack Open Air Theatre at Porthcurno in Cornwall in 1973, playing Captain Paul Waggett in “Whisky Galore.” Other popular plays I appeared in, to name but a few, include “Time and the Conways,” “Nude with Violin,” “The Wisdom of Eve,” “Pride and Prejudice,” “An Inspector Calls” and “Deathtrap,” which

I have appeared in three times.
I have also appeared in three Musicals including “42nd Street”, “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” and “City of Angels.”

Pantomime Characters include the title role in “Mother Goose,” an Ugly Sister in “Cinderella” and the Child Catcher in “Babes in the Wood.”
