Emmeline Winterbotham's first memory of performance was as a dumpy snowflake in the ballet Swan Lake in Mexico City aged 3. Since then she has trained and performed in various places and with various companies - joining the Tower in 1996 as an ASM on Sweeney Todd. Favourite Tower acting roles include Hermione in The Winter's Tale, Amanda in Private Lives, Jean Brodie and Lucille in Garden. She made her Tower directing debut last season with The Misanthrope.
Outside the Tower, Emmeline writes for theatre - her co-written play Take Two was staged at The Gatehouse, Highgate in  2005 and in 2006 she was a finalist in The Almeida's Write competition. She is also involved with development work for Hampstead Theatre and one day hopes to open a theatre in Suffolk. She lives in Islington

Aoibhéann McCann lives in Crouch End at the moment but hails from the countryside of Ireland, having arrived here just over a year ago. She made her Tower debut last November as Mafanwy Price in The Sea. A drama teacher and a whizz on Photoshop, Aoibhéann has found herself as a member of the publicity team and enjoys designing publicity material for the company. Playing a non-human almost spiritual entity such as The Moon has proven an interesting, if sometimes 'odd' experience but definitely a worthwhile one, having learned a lot from her director and fellow cast alike. With a passion for learning (or punishment) she will be embarking on a drama school stint this September. The Tower has given her priceless friendships & experience and she hopes to contribute to the company in the years to come.

Ian Hoare joined the Tower eight years ago and has appeared in twelve productions. He played Otto in The Diary of Anne Frank and the Rev Samuel Parris in The Crucible; his most recent appearance was in last year's The Misanthrope. He is a journalist by trade, formerly a BBC news editor and now lecturing on journalism at the London College of Communication at the Elephant and Castle. Ian was born in Euston, lives in Holloway and is sufficiently reckless and romantic to be a passionate, obsessive Gooner.  He has four children by three different mothers and is nuts about cinema and soul music.

This is the first time Paul Billing has acted with the Tower. He spent the last summer touring for Heartbreak Productions and hopes to be going back on tour this year. Since moving to London from Cornwall seven years ago he has trained at the City Lit, Method Studio and spent two months studying Shakespeare at RADA. He met Lara at the Richmond Shakespeare Society and is very pleased that she contacted him to play such an interesting character as Leonardo. He lives in North London.

She lives in Stoke Newington.
