Am I odd or am I living in the wrong part of the world? Theatrical Roles to Date 1998: Robin Hood with New Dyfi Players, Machynlleth, Powys. Playing Gilbert (an upper class twit of a merry man in the best Monty Python style) I was given the line "Man, that was a good blow job" following a loud trumpet blast but asked if I could change it "I blew my own trumpet once, and now look at me!" (in the style of Morecambe and Wise) 1999: Master of Ceremonies with New Dyfi Players. I had since moved to Ceredigion in 1998, but having met with the director of the 1998 pantomime was asked if I would like to play a small part in the pre millennial production as Master of Ceremonies (which meant introducing people like "Lord Orange and Lady Marmalade!" as well as reading out the UK lottery numbers). 2000: Master of Ceremonies with Little Mill Players, Felinfach, Ceredigon: I was asked to MC a variety show based on the 20th century and can still remember to this day the rap that I did to introduce the 1990's: "MC Mikey, give me a beat. Yo, hey, what's happening dudes? I'm a guy with a rep for being rude, announcing all the guests that are in this show and hoping that the crowd will go "HO!" (which came from the backstage crew). And now we present from the cartoon hit, a song that no one could call the pits, so will you all cheer as the juniors sing "I just can't wait to be King!" WORD!" 2001: Jack and the Beanstalk with Little Mill Players: I was asked to played Silly Billy (Jack's brother) and performed a version of "If I were a rich man" and even managed to lampoon several DIY shows. 2002: Ruddigore with the Showtime Singers, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion: Although part of the chorus, due to the number of characters in "Ruddigore", I was given the role of Sir Mervyn Murgatroyd (one of the bad baronets of Ruddigore) as well as being a member of the bucks and blades. 2005: A Christmas Carol with Memorama, Aberaeron, Ceredigion: What started off as just a single role of a stockbroker discussing the merits of Yorkshire Woollens, soon turned into a multi faceted part including being a member of the chorus, a baker and a person conducting a deal with Scrooge 2006: Miracle on 34th Street with Memorama: Thankfully I only had two roles in this production (which saved a lot of effort). As well as being a fake Santa Claus, I also played Jim Zonnerman, a New York City Zoo keeper in charge of two little toy reindeers who where raffled off on the last night 2007: A Child's Christmas in Wales with Memorama: My most recent role was over Christmas when I played Murgatroyd the chaffeur who managed to save the Thomas's Christmas Dinner (but has to suffer the downside when his Rolls Royce's brakes fail and it rolls down the hill and crashes into a tree!) I was looking forward to the next production with Memorama called "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde (and was hoping to be one of the two butlers) but at tonight's meeting it was cancelled due to the lack of gentlemen involved in the group. Does this mean that Welsh men are too macho to take part in the arts and if so, should I move to England (as I often consider myself to be more English than Welsh)? __________________ The stronger they are, the more muscled they are |
