Love theatre, saw 'treats' recently, its brilliantly vivid in your face touching and funny story! Excellently performed!Equus, its the third time i have seen this production, richard Griffiths and Daniel Radcliffe did the best performance of it I have ever seen. saw the entertainer and man of mode both great but the best thing i have seen in the last 6 months would have to be Faust.....it blew my brain, incredible journey and experiences.

Television
Love The Office, Extras, Shameless, Hustle, saturday kitchen and The bbc dramas (shakespear retold was great) I am a fan of sex in the city, friends, will and grace and desperate housewives too! Guess i'm a big tv soap junkie!
Books
I have read three biographies in the last year, which I have loved from start to finish: Goldie Hawn’s, Gene Wilder and 'evil spirits' - Oliver Reed. All well worth the read!
Performing in Metamorphoses has lead me to research Aphrodite / Venus and Greek Mythology. I have found it fascinating. Charles Martins translation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses is a smooth read; it makes Ovid’s tales accessible, readable and enjoyable. Fantastic stories! I also read Robert Graves 'The Greek Myths’ I think I enjoyed reading it so much it because I am rehearsing four times a week with characters in the myths - bringing them alive!!
Away from the acting craft 'Fup' by Jim Dodge is great! Short and sweet, good for the lunch break!
'Five people you meet in heaven' by Mitch Albom and ' The Kite Runner' (make sure your not alone when reading this, your need someone on stand by with tissues and a good ear!)
