"Tons of Money" was the follow-up production by LADS, and I was cast as Sprules the Butler. A wiley character, Sprules required a rather butler-like accent when around his superiors and yet a crafty cockney style when in the company of his nearest and dearest. A very funny farce, and a pleasure to play the part.

I ended the year performing in "Blue Remembered Hills" as Raymond, a 7 year old boy with an extreme stutter. Based in the West Country during WW2, this told the story of 7 children and how they interacted with each other, sometimes imitating adults, sometimes being friends, occasionally bullying one another, often with funny results but ultimately with a terrible outcome where one of the children, Donald (the object of much of the bullying) loses his life in a barn fire... I loved doing this play so much, as I had to re-learn being a child, and it was a real challenge which I relished. The other members of the cast were also such high quality that I found it so much easier to interact and get into the part. Wonderful memories....
