After The Dance
After The Dance was the first show I did during my second year at college and the third I did at the Garrick.
This play was written by Terence Rattigan and first aired in theatres in 1939.
The scene was set during the 1920's in the drawing room of a first class flat in Mayfair (a fashionable part of London) belonging to David (played by Elliot Lolley) and Joan (played by Leah Yates) Scott-Fowler which are known to be "bright young things" of the '20's. David Scott-Fowler is a successful writer who has bad habits of revelling in drinking and partying hardly. He and Joan, still sticking to their "Twenties heydays", are firstly joined by their plump-bodied, drunken, parasitic lodger John Reid (played by Matt Dalton) who spreads an annoyance and infuriation around the atmosphere of the other characters. Then David's cousin Peter (played by Connor Wareing) and his earnest wife Helen Banner (played by Levi Gittings)
The role I played was the Scott-Fowlers' butler - Williams, in which I spoke with a very posh British accent.
