****UPDATE****Vic's new play - 'Fancying Sheep' premiered at the Gwent One Act Festival on the 15th March 2007 at Blackwood Little Theatre. It also was close to winning in the Wales Final in Newtown in June.  Further details are the play collection page....along with publication news for both Sheep and Godfather Death.

Vic has been acting since he was fifteen and got involved in school drama.  He wrote his first play at seventeen years old and despite the fact that it was unbelievably bad saw it performed two years later.  He studied English and Drama at Aberystwyth at the end of the seventies and wrote and performed a one-man show whilst there.

Vic has acted with several societies over the years and done some work with musical theatre-despite the fact that he claims to hate it!  He joined Blackwood Little Theatre in 1987 and has directed and/or acted there in every season since.  His first play as an actor was ‘The Summer of the Seventeenth Doll’ set in Australia, his first play as director came a year later with Arthur Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman’ where he also played ‘Biff’.  Vic always chooses to act in plays he directs as he claims that he is ‘too nervous just watching’.

Vic has played a wide variety of roles over the years from ‘Brick’ in ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ to ‘Hamlet’.  He won Best Actor Award with the Gwent Drama League for both of those roles and for two others – the only actor ever to have won the award four times.

The first play of Vic’s to be performed at Blackwood Little Theatre was the well-received comedy ‘Marking Time’ performed in 1999.  Telling of a school about to undergo inspection.

In the last three years plays of Vic’s have been entered by Blackwood in the Wales Drama Festival – winning awards on all three occasions, including best director and best production, alongside some acting awards for the cast invloved.'Godfather Death' was the first on the 'trilogy' to performed and details of this can be found on the play collection page.  In 2005 Vic’s play ‘Girl’ won a national play-writing award.  Last year,  his play ‘Speaking Part’ was runner up in an international play writing competition.  His latest work was performed by his own production company - Bluebird Players - in November 2006, when it staged 'Waiting for Robbo' (details on the play collection page).
