Ben Blyth
|
| Talented young actor Ben made
his debut on the Broadbent stage as a Simple servant back in 2002,
highlighting his keen interest in Shakespeare from a young age. Since
then he has toured the East Midlands with Romeo and Juliet and performed
in the first play at the newly refurbished Lincoln Drill Hall,
King Lear. He studied GCSE Drama (A*) and A-Level and Theatre studies (A) at William Farr Comprehensive School in Welton. He is currently in his third year as an undergraduate of history at the University of Cambridge. That's not to say that while he's been hauled up at Cambridge he's not found time to dabble with the dramatic arts. As President of the College drama society he's performed many more times in roles ranging from the Shakespearian to the melodramatic. He has also recently turned his hand to writing a series of original sketch shows and even directing, with a successful May Week production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, on midsummer's eve, in the Christ's College Fellows' Garden. In an attempt to put off finding a "proper job", Ben is hoping to be accepted into the London School of Music and Dramatic Art in 2008. |
