Jessica Rogers – Maggie
This is Jess’s first production with KDC though she has been involved with other amateur theatre groups, including a production of Noises Off in 2015 and taking a new writing play up to Edinburgh fringe last year. When Jess isn’t being wildly competitive in rehearsal warm up games she is a Learning and Development Advisor for Christie’s where she is about the only person in the world to get really excited by the prospect of role play in the classroom.

Billy Knowles – Paul
This is Billy’s third production with KDC after appearing in Stags & Hens at the Landor and Bones, here at the Barons Court. Billy has performed in a variety of roles at a number of fringe venues including The Magnetic Lady (White Bear), Boom Bang-a-Bang (Etcetera), Bacchus In Rehab (Etcetera), Amore the Merrier (Cockpit) and Shopping & F***ing at the Edinburgh Fringe. Billy has also performed in several shows with ARC Theatre Ensemble, toured playing various characters in rep with Rainbow Theatre Company and performed as part of The Works, a choir ran by the ENO. Billy is excited to be part of Den of Thieves and would like to dedicate his performance to his Mum and Dad.

Govind Hodgson – Flaco
Having spent much of his youth in country Australia listening to Reggaeton and Latin Hip Hop and R n B, it seems only right that Govind was finally given the opportunity to live out his dream playing a deluded white guy with aspirations of being a Latin King. While this is Govind’s 8th year with KDC, this is the first chance Govind has been given to play a part that’s really him, in that it’s not at all really him.

Jade-Marie Joseph – Boochie
Jade-Marie is an actress and filmmaker. She took an interest in acting at the age of three and by the age of five she attended ‘Bubblegum’ drama school. She also attended the well known stage school ‘Sylvia Young’ aged twelve for a few years. Jade-Marie has been involved in various productions, on stage, as well as in front and behind the camera. At fifteen Jade-Marie performed at the Hampstead Theatre’s production of Snow White where she played the The Queen/Witch in which she won a Jack Petchey Best Actress Award. She was part of the Tricycle Theatre young company for three years where she performed a string of productions which included The Kilburn Passion in 2014. She took an interest in film making later in life, her first project was a documentary based on urban youth culture and it was shown on BBC three website and was also aired on television in their programme called Life through our lense. Jade-Marie’s last staged productions were The Forty Elephants at Pop up Brixton (2015) and Black lives, black words at the Bush theatre (2016). She has just recently finished starring in new short film Morning Glory which will be coming out later on this year.

Keir Mills – Sal
This is Keir’s fourth production with KDC. Having somewhat exacerbated a family feud as Tybalt in Romeo & Juliet, he then attempted to keep his head Rudyard Kipling style as Dr Cardin in The Children’s Hour and then vehemently express a vision of anti-E.U.topia as The Terrorist in There Has Possibly Been An Incident. Alongside his stage work, Keir’s on-screen credits include the feature films City Rats and Shaun Of The Dead and acclaimed shorts, Honeymoon, The Outcasts and Green Means Stop. Not forgetting TV Shows including Channel 4’s Teachers and Messiah and the usual rounds of The Bill (R.I.P.) Holby City and Casualty amongst others.

Previous to this, the most amount of times Keir had written ‘Keir’ in any singular piece of writing was once. So he is proud to have taken the opportunity to set a new record.

Jed Soakell – Little Tuna
