We are so proud of our 'Harry' (Timothy Harker) & 'Denise' (Jilly Bond) who have been announced as London Pub Theatre Awards Finalists (Best Two-Hander) for their performances in "TRESTLE".
Brilliant news & SO well deserved. Fingers crossed for you both...

So lovely to chat with Rob Warren at @everything-theatre.co.uk about my career thus far inc. the upcoming tour of BONDING, my hoofing past, quitting theatre altogether in my 20s & my recent foray into producing with @parkergraham2.bsky.social.
