The lovely Alex, who plays Col in Fetch, gave us 5 minutes of his time to answer some questions.
What do you like best about your character in Fetch?
What I like best about my character is Col’s naivety, he is completely unsuspecting, nothing unusual ever happens and he wouldn’t notice it if it did. But he is thrown into a situation he can’t avoid and I like seeing how he deals with it.
What’s your favourite past production that you’ve worked on?
My favourite past production was a production of Othello. By Jove theatre company cast Othello as a woman and took a contemporary look at the struggles of being a woman in a mans world.
What’s the best show you’ve ever been to?
The best show I have ever been to was at the Battersea Arts Centre and it was a spoken word/poetry/music show called Brand New Ancients by Kate Tempest. It was inspirational, powerful and down to earth. Art at its most affecting.
What’s your favourite horror movie?
One of my top five, would be Paranormal Activity…not being able to physically fight back against something is really scary.
What scares you silly?
Not many things scare me silly…I usually do the scaring. I hide and scare my friends a lot.
You’re going to a Halloween party, what are you dressing up as?
If I were going to a Halloween Party I would dress up as my own doppleganger…simple and effective.
Not a lot of people know that…
I’m from Birmingham.
What really grinds your gears?
People repeatedly pressing the ‘open door’ button on the tube…JUST DON’T PRESS IT, IT DOESN’T WORK.
You can see Alex performing as Col in Fetch by Duncan Gates as a part of our Halloween Tales production on 30th, 31st October and 1st November. Tickets available now.
