After two great performances in London, PROOF begins its final week in Birmingham. It has been a dream production in every way and I'm going to miss it. But before I miss it, I get to do it four more times on Norman Coates' wonderful set in the wonderful Old Rep Theatre.

Neal was born in Birmingham but it was an accident that led him back to his home town to create the BSC. He was looking for a theatre in which to base his fledgling company and remembered that in 1989 he had been shown round The Old Rep Theatre by the theatre manager. He was lucky that he second visit coincided with the arrival of a new manager, Neil Johnston, (and not just because his name was Neil). Mr Johnston was looking for a way to enhance the activity of the Old Rep and the two men's ambitions coincided perfectly. Neal moved his company into the theatre and the BSC was formed. Since then he has run the BSC as an actor/manager, appearing in many of the company's shows. He has most recently performed in their productions of TWELFTH NIGHT and SKELLIG (performing in New York, March 2011).
