RBM WELOMES FOUR NEW GRADUATES
RBM is truly delighted to welcome four wonderful new graduates to the agency's books. From ALRA, OLIVER KENNEDY and from Guildhall, RHYS ISAAC-JONES, CHRISTOPHER CURRIE and EVA FEILER. All four will be actors to watch in the coming year and beyond.
|
RHYS ISAAC-JONES JOINS RBM
This year's Guildhall graduates are a super-talented bunch and none more so than RHYS ISAAC-JONES. Playing roles as diverse as Orlando in As You Like It, Horner in The Country Wife and Astrov in Uncle Vanya, RHYS clearly isn't limited in his dramatic range. Add to this a strong tenor voice and you have an actor who will go far.
|
EVA FEILER JOINS FROM GUILDHALL
Another find is the totally wonderful EVA FEILER. Her fabulous performance as Peg Sliderskew in the Guildhall production of Nicholas Nickleby was the clincher. Eva has a lovely voice, both acting and singing (strong Mezzo). She is also a brilliant dancer, whether Contemporary, Latin or Period. Eva is an all-round superstar in the making and we're thrilled that she has joined RBM.
|
CHRISTOPHER CURRIE JOINS RBM
CHRISTOPHER CURRIE is another brilliant Guildhall graduate with a sparkling future. His good looks and commanding stage presence landed him the role of Elliot in Private Lives and the title role in King Oedipus while at Guildhall. Christopher also played Smike in Nicholas Nickleby, showing the breadth of his range. With a strong high baritone voice and excellent command of dance, we're predicting big things ahead.

OLIVER KENNEDY SIGNS FROM ALRA
We're delighted to welcome 2013 ALRA graduate OLIVER KENNEDY to RBM. A talented dancer as well as a great actor, Ollie has the kind of fresh, contemporary look that is going to get him lots of work.

Unmissable.

MELANIE McHUGH IN ULSTER CLASSIC
MELANIE McHUGH has opened in OVER THE BRIDGE at The Finborough. First performed in 1960 after being banned for years, this still-controversial play by ex-shipyard work Sam Thompson takes a tough look at the sectarian divide. It's playing to packed houses and is well worth a visit.
