Measure for Measure (photo: unknown)

by William Shakespeare
Loft Theatre Company, October 1985
Director: William Wilkinson

As Froth, "a foolish gentleman" (the wig’s a bit of a giveaway) in Measure for Measure. Gus MacDonald, as Pompey, looks no less foolish despite working under his own hair.

Measure for Measure (photo: unknown) In the same production I also played Claudio, here being led to prison for having got Kate Egan up the duff. Ron Povey is the bondage master and Roger Lewis finds the whole thing amusing.

Measure for Measure (photo: unknown) Trying to keep out of the way while Jim Walden (playing Elbow) has a pop at Gus. Jim was a good friend and a fine actor and director, who died tragically young in December 1993.

Measure for Measure (photo: unknown) The Duke (Emmanuel Toutoungi), disguised as a friar, has a heart to heart with the condemned Claudio. Note the subtle use of dark make-up on my legs to convey the squalor of prison (my shirt, of course, is still miraculously white).
