York Settlement Community Players

Time to meet Glyn; who is playing 'Sylvestor' in our Autumn production of 'Red Shoes'. Here's what Glyn has to say: I'm Glyn, from London, though I live in York. My first ever part was as cowboy Blanco Posnet in a Shaw one-act play in Exeter. I trained at East 15 Acting School 1976-79, then acted at the Library & Royal Exchange theatres & Leeds Playhouse, also many parts in fringe theatre in Manchester & London, including title role in Macbeth. In York I have acted with York Shakespeare Project, and for YSCP: Telegin in Uncle Vanya at Theatre Royal studio & Dennis in Slip Sliding Away at Eagle & Child pub. This is my first devilish shoemaker. What took me so long?

Are you getting excited for our Autumn production, "Red Shoes". T o whet your appetite, meet Olivia, who will be playing Karen. Here's what Olivia has to say: My name’s Olivia Caley, I’m an 18 year old actress and I’m playing Karen in ‘The Red Shoes’. I’ve just finished studying Acting at York College and I also have a big passion for singing and musical theatre! Karen is a 16 year old orphan who is given a pair of red shoes which turn out to be magic and make her dance. At first it’s like her dream has come true but she quickly learns that they’re not what they seem.
