The Hollow Crown – Cast and Crew

Stage Manager

 Brian Plested

Brian first joined us backstage in “Waiting in the Wings” and has actually appeared onstage in “The Darling Buds of May”. For this production he has taken on the role of tea maker-in-chief at rehearsals, for which we are all very grateful.

Lighting

Graham Evans

Graham is a “Hobson’s Choice” debutant and has thrown himself in to all things technical backstage. He has even appeared in an acting role in “The Darling Buds of May”. For this production he has been sharing his time and talents with Marlow FM.

DSM

Caroline Law

Caroline has been with us since “The Darling Buds of May”; somebody had to be backstage while the rest of the crew were gallivanting on stage. Caroline attends to all those small details that make the bigger picture.

Sound

Charlie Foord

Charlie, “Gadget” as he is affectionately known, joined the Players for the production of, “Tons of Money”. Once more he has been producing “toys for the boys” and will probably be sitting in the audience running the sound from his iPhone.

Gloria Kendrick

Gloria has been with us for over a decade and has appeared onstage in leading roles, backstage as stage manager and in front of stage as director. She was the director of our last Production “‘Allo ‘Allo”

Wendy Gammond

Wendy has been with us for longer than I can remember and has appeared onstage in numerous roles and when not on stage she has most often taken on the unenviable task of prompt.

Tony Bew

Tony is our current chairman and has been with us since 1997. He has appeared onstage in leading and minor roles, backstage in all guises and as director. He last appeared as the hapless Leclerc in “‘Allo ‘Allo”

Brian Couling

Brian is a long standing member of the Players and our current treasurer. He has been in every production in the last 14 years, with one exception, and most as the leading man. His last appearance was as Rene in “‘Allo ‘Allo”

David Choules

David’s first and only production with the Marlow Players to date was “‘Allo ‘Allo”  in which he played both Crabtree, the English Policeman and General Von Schmelling.

Andrew Stafford

Andrew is another long standing member of the Marlow Players and is currently our President. As a retired English teacher, a warden of Windsor Castle and a professional singer, Andrew is ideally suited to direct and perform in this production. Indeed, the cast received a comprehensive history lesson at each rehearsal.

Christine Petch

Christine first trained with Norman Platt (Kent Opera) and Ruth Saye (soprano) before studying with Brian Parsons (Guildhall School of Music and Drama).  She sings with the professional choirs of St Alban’s Holborn and St Mary-le-Strand Westminster.

Her solo repertoire encompasses the standard classics and baroque repertoire in particular This is Christine’s first appearance with the Marlow Players
