BLUEBIRD
Mark starred in Bluebird from 5-30 May 2015 as Andy Green.
SYNOPSIS Bluebird follows Jimmy, a mini cab driver, over the course of one night in London, exploring the city’s A-roads, back alleys and the lives that dwell around them. Jimmy listens as his ‘fares’ tell their individual stories in the back of his Nissan. He hears from a father mourning the murder of his daughter, a bouncer’s memory of a violent night at his club, a disillusioned engineer of London’s underground, as well as, finally, Jimmy’s estranged wife Clare. Because as it turns out, Jimmy’s own is the darkest story of all. On stage between 5-30 May 2015 Venue: Tabard Theatre London Written by: Simon Stephens Directed by: Amanda Root Reviews of the play: londontheatre1.com - ayoungtheatre.com - remotegoat.com - tle-online.com For an interview with Mark, the Bluebird cast and director at the Tabard Theatre visit http://www.chiswickbuzz.net/arts/news/84-arts/472-bluebird-play-comes-to-the-tabard-theatre |
CAST:
Christien Anholt Malcolm Freeman -Jimmy Macneill Selina Giles -Clare Lisa Gorgin -Janine Williams Mark Griffin -Andy Green Jennifer Hanah -Girl / Woman in love Marie-Francoise Wolff Emma Louise-Sanders Daniel O'Meara Nicholas Newman -Richard Tom Greaves Kate Freer "Mark Griffin’s performance as a bouncer haunted by the visions of nightclub violence is particularly memorable; his stilted refusals to engage in conversation turn into a pained recounting of the night’s events" "I was most impressed with Christien Anholt and Mark Griffin. These actors both played two different characters – each new character being the complete opposite of their last one. This really showcased their acting skills and each of them was very realistic. I would be more than happy to see either of them in future productions!" "Mark Griffin, playing Andy Green, was quite superb in showcasing the perverse relationship between a cabbie and punter" |
