Bob Hough graduated from Exeter University´s English and Drama course, as it then was, some time ago and immediately after graduation reverted to his day job as an electrical engineer. His fortune has declined since his first role with the Tower Theatre as God in Peta Barker´s adaptation and production of Kleinzeit. Subsequently he has gone downhill: tortured half to death in Death and the Maiden; abandoned in Endgame; kicked and crushed to death respectively in Entertaining Mr Sloane and The Crucible; a heart attack in Baba Shakespeare; as Blenkinsop in The Doctor’s Dilemma he was dragged from death’s door only by a miracle serum. He survived to the end of the evening as the old shabby Carr in Travesties. There is no mention of imminent death in this play but with an out-of-work frustrated and eager hangman hanging around, who knows what might happen after the curtain comes down on the final night. Elsewhere he was a member of Personas Libro (Project Fahrenheit 451); details on request. |
