A year on, the hit show returns to the Bush Theatre for a month long run, again to critical acclaim. The show’s lead Charly, a drug dealer dealing with the after affects of heartbreak. Performer Alexa Davies, who reprises the role tells us more about the role, what she’s learned from taking part in the production and what audiences can expect!
Hi Alexa, you’ll be starring in Martha Watson Allpress’ Edinburgh hit show Lady Dealer showing from the 15th May until 15th June at the Bush Theatre. How are you feeling ahead of the show?
I’m feeling very excited. I’m also feeling very lucky to have performed the show before, in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Having this extra time to invite people into Charly’s world in such a small, intimate setting is something I’m really looking forward to.
Our families are what keep us rooted, often our first interaction with the wider world, here is where initial meaningful connections are formed. Marking the re-opening of the Arcola Theatre with their spring season, Barney Norris returns with the premiere of his latest work We Started to Sing, a piece tracing the distance that grows amongst a family over 3 decades as they pave new lives for themselves across the UK. Having recently just opened, the production plays until Saturday 18th June. Forming part of the production’s ensemble, cast member Naomi Petersen tells us more about what inspired her to take part in the show, what preparing for her role involved and what she’s learned from the creative process.
