Me outside the Lyric Theatre, Belfast

Barry, my character, has returned to the STREET. Some funny scenes to perform. Great stuff with Kym and Simon and Bev.

On the set of Corrie last week. She says she is so happy I’m back. I’m glad to be back. Watch out for my stuff coming out in 4th. October.

Off to Dublin in August to begin rehearsals for THE NIGHT ALIVE by  Conor McPherson. We play for two weeks at The Gaiety Theatre in the Dublin Theatre Festival and then on to Belfast for four weeks at The Lyric Theatre. It is a Lyric Theatre production with Conor directing. It must be over forty years since I last played the Gaiety with Borstal Boy. Am very happy and excited to be returning to my native city in such a marvellous play and such a great character to portray.

Me, as Uncle Maurice…

Adrian Dunbar and me, in a tense scene. “Death is real…”

Back on ‘Corrie’ for a couple of episodes. Kym looks beautiful.

I am going back to Coronation Street. This will be my fourth visit to the famous street…

HERE IS THE COMPANY PHOTO.

Great news that we are doing it in New York in Nov. Can’t wait to work with The Great Gambon again. Not to speak of the wonderful Eileen.

I am doing my one-man show

It will be nice to revisit the lovely little theatre where we did ALL THAT FALL last year.
