Why I Enjoy Drama

I've no coherent theory as to why I enjoy drama. Every production I'm involved in as an actor I vow will be my last, but a few days after
the end of each run I'm pining for my next thespian ‘fix.' I am, in short, a junky who enjoys hiding in public.

My Drama Experience

I didn't start acting until I was 52. Since then, I've taken part in many Woodlands productions over a whole range of genres. As a former
Russian linguist who loves Russian repertoire I've been very lucky to have had the opportunity with Woodlands to translate, direct and act
in productions of Chekhov and Gogol.

Away From Drama

Away from drama I teach Russian for adults and enjoy fell-walking and gardening. In September 2007 I shall be tutoring a course for the
Harrogate
branch of the WEA entitled ‘Russian composers and their literary inspiration.
