Rudi, my very great acting teacher at Bristol Old Vic, said many wonderful things about acting.

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).

'Big Floppy Willies'
was a piece of advice handed to us by one of my toothless, drunk, acting tutors.
I kid you not!

-oops i pressed the button before i had finished.
Another piece of advice, given to someone i know by the great Alan Rickman was - your american accent is dreadfull but you have a good bum... your bum will save you.
The persons bum in question did actualy appear in the play quite a lot. so there was reason for Mr Rickman to mension it.
'you spell 'art' with a capital F' - I like that a lot!
Chris :)
