Terry Scotchmer – James
Terry started acting two years ago and in May of this year finished a 1 year acting programme at The Brian Timoney Actors Studio. Previous stage work includes John from After Miss Julie, Lyle Britton from A Blues For Mister Charlie and Brick Pollitt from Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. At the Transcend Festival in St Giles this summer he played Half Hanged Smith in a play called A Kind Bowl. Terry is a lazy actor and couldn’t be bothered to write a fresh bio. He’s super excited about doing his Method research into swinging, and already has several profiles up in the dodgier corners of the internet. Nudge nudge wink wink ladies. Or gentlemen. Whatever.
Kat Wootton – Jennifer
Kat Wootton, most recently a director with KDC (Hamlet, Stag Nation, Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You), is returning to her acting roots in Casual Encounters. She works in television production, writes and directs films, occasionally writes freelance, and practices Hapkido. And no, she has never read or answered a ‘casual encounters’ ad.
Not deliberately, anyway.
Kim Morrison – Annette
After a few years hanging around the dark edges of KDC, persuading innocent people to drink, attend social gatherings with puns in the title and take part in devised theatre, Kim thought it was high time she actually auditioned for a KDC show. Much to her delight she found the process simply thrilling and now understands why everybody does it.
Kim really likes the theatre, she has been in quite a few plays and has directed some too. She has even managed the stage and on occasion switched lights on and off.
By day she is a desk monkey and project manager for an education charity, she would love to pursue her dreams but she isn’t too sure what they are just yet, she will happily accept your suggestions on the back of a postcard.
Graeme Thompson – Peter
Graeme first found theatre whilst a juvenile, as a means of channeling latent aggression. Upon release from borstal, it has continued to prove a useful tool to maintain the straight and narrow. Taking on the role of Peter in Casual Encounters therefore has added significance for Graeme and his preference for the method school of acting. He us now wanted in three counties, and if seen, should be considered dangerous and not approached.
Nick Edwards – DC Cook
This is Nick’s 13th play in the last 6 years, with favourite roles including Mickey in Blood Brothers, Benjamin in The Graduate, Ruben in Bones and Tristram in Taking Steps. By day he is a maths teacher and tries to inject as much of his acting life into his lessons as possible every day! Nick couldn’t resist the opportunity to get involved with a play of such… ahem… interesting subject matter and is looking forward to getting back on stage following trying his hand at assistant directing, at KDC’s sell-out run of Blood Wedding this spring.
