Fav song of the moment:: Stairway to heaven (Led Zeppelin)

How did you get into Shakespeare?: I liked a girl who was into acting, I ended up not liking her anymore and got into drama. I kinda stumbled upon it truth be told.
Did acting help you come out of your shell or have you always been a performer?: Nah I've never had a shell and this helped me focus my energy.
What's been the Shakespeare experience for you - how did young people around the country react to the performances?: It was different than most people would expect. I think that the people we performed to genuinely liked it.
Touring means you have to spend a lot of time with the rest of the cast and crew - what were some of the best bits of touring?: Signing autographs of the young students and getting to know the cast better.
And the worst?: Having to put up with grumpy teachers and getting used to the little annoying things that the cast did, although I'm sure I had plenty myself.
Are you aiming for a professional arts / acting / entertainment career?: It's always the dream of being a professional screen actor.
Looking back on your amazing adventure, what will your lasting memory be?: Having a student throw up in one of our performances and the amount of places we actually went to.
