Richard is one of our “claims to fame” having now become a professional actor,  regularly appearing on the London stage.

In his amateur days he acted with a number of groups in the Wycombe area before attending Drama Studio London in 2006/07, and found Masque the friendliest. He has appeared in six Masque productions including the leading role of Cardinal Azzolino in "The Abdication" in April 2005, and after performing at Shakespeare's Globe and the London fringe in the latter part of 2007 he returned to Masque in "Allo Allo".  It’s not every group who can boast that they have a professional actor in their productions.

Richard reads audio books, enjoys open air Shakespeare and considers Fagin in Masque's "Oliver Twist" in November 2004 one of his favourite amateur roles.  He still comes back to appear with Masque when his professional career allows,  and of course, it  goes without saying that we are always delighted to have him.
