PUCK: Orla Jackson

I am absolutely thrilled to be part of this production and involved in such an amazing festival. Recently I completed a Foundation Course at the Oxford School of Drama where I worked with some talented people, most of whom are here also. My plan for the future is to continue my training in London and hopefully go on to do a BA in Acting.

BOTTOM: Tamika Clement-Pascal

I am really excited to have the opportunity to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe playing the part of Bottom in this production of MSND. I have recently completed the Foundation Course at the Oxford School of Drama, which I thoroughly enjoyed. My future plans are to continue my training in acting and dance.

HERMIA: Emma Robinson

I am excited to be a part of this production, especially as this is my first time performing at the famous Fringe. I recently completed the Foundation Course at the Oxford School of Drama. My future plans are to work and travel around South-East Asia, failing that, well I’m not entirely sure – I’ll just see where life takes me! I hope you enjoy the show as much as I have being part of it.

HELENA: Katie Greenwell

I am 19 years old and grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne. Last year I started at Manchester Metropolitan University, studying Philosophy. In September I will become a second year and continue this course, which I enjoy very much. I took part in The Edinburgh Fringe Festival last summer with Spearshaker, playing the part of Bottom in ‘MSND’. This year I am looking forward to be returning as Helena.

LYSANDER: Nicholas Stoppani

Born in Northampton in May 1981, from an early age he knew he wanted to entertain. Over the years he has secured roles in both Film and T.V most notable for playing the part of a Teddy Boy in NBC's drama about the Beatles: In His Life, The John Lennon Story.

He also produces, directs and performs in various variety performances raising money for charity.

Nicholas is very keen to help his community; for the past two years he has given his time to Silverstone Junior School working with both staff and children on their school productions.

More information about Nicholas can be found at www.showbiznick.co.uk

Nicholas would like to dedicate his performance at The Fringe to a friend who sadly passed away in May '06. He battled with an alcohol addiction which, like drugs, can be so hard to beat.

WRITER/DIRECTOR: Kate Murphy

Having written ‘MSND’ back in 2004 I am thrilled to have the opportunity to direct it for a second time at the Edinburgh Fringe. As well as playwriting I’m also a keen actress, having recently completed the Foundation Course at the Oxford School of Drama. In my spare time I enjoy writing and recently attended a workshop at the Soho Theatre for their Young Writers programme. In September I plan to move down to London in order to pursue a career in acting and playwriting.

STAGE MANAGER: Meera Priya Shaunak

Having recently completed and thoroughly enjoyed attending the Foundation Course at the Oxford School of Drama, I am pleased to contribute towards this production of ‘MSND’ at the Fringe Festival.
