Filming The Bill (TalkThames/ITV)

On 11th to 13th June 2008 I was filming for THE BILL. I played Omar, a fuel station attendant who helps the Police by identifying the criminal. It was an introduction to TV work, more than anything.

Recording '43.59 YARA' (Drama for BBC Radio)

On the week-end of Friday 11th to Sunday 13th April, I was in London recording FORTY THREE, FIFTY NINE - YARA, a drama production for BBC Radio. We recorded on location, in the streets of London. The play is about Yara, a student from Chechenya who is part of a plot to terrorise London with bomb attacks (Russian dignitaries are on visit in London). I played Henri, another foreign student, who's in love with her but hasn't got a clue of what she does. The play is about the last 43 minutes 59 seconds leading to Yara committing the suicide bombing attack.

Meeting Max Stafford-Clark

At the end of the pre-show talk to TESTING THE ECHO, today at the Oxford Playhouse, I had a chance to talk to Max Stafford-Clark. First there was a Q&A session where I asked him about his personal experience when he went to Rwanda to research THE OVERWHELMING. A couple of years ago I went to watch this play at the National Theatre and was struck by its authenticity. After that I'd written to Max Stafford-Clark to congratulate and thank him for the experience.
