Darren Raymond Director, Artistic Director of Intermission Theatre As an actor Darren has always believed that the written word when in performance has a power to engage and transform. Darren has been engaged as a contributor to new works by other writers; has had his poetry published in the Guardian, taken the lead in numerous Shakespearian and commercial tours including the title role of Othello, and recently received the Serena Neville Prize for work of excellence through the Concordia Foundation. Darren has just completed post-production on his 30-minute film, Shoot and Score, for which he was responsible for writing and assistant directing. The film features the noted actress Cathy Tyson and is directed by Leon Herbert. Intermission Theatre’ first production Cracking the Whip was directed and co-written by Darren and played to full houses and great acclaim. Darren’s second play, Prison Wings, will be opening here at Intermission in the first week of May 2008. Details will be on the web site shortly. Adrian Plass Adrian is an internationally popular writer and speaker in many countries, who wrote the short story on which this play is based. Joanne Sandi Deputy Stage Manager and Verger Actress, Dancer, Singer with various film, theatre and TV rolls to her credit; currently starring as a receptionist in the Boots Christmas Campaign.

Joanne has a love of the theatre be it as a cast member, (such as the lead in Homeward Bound directed by Eammon Walker) or behind the scenes, and has thoroughly enjoyed honing her skills as Assistant on Intermission’s previous show Cracking the Whip and on this production. Be it chewing her way to the top as Cindy in the Wrigleys ad for Hollyoaks or dancing to a backdrop of ABBA Hits, this bright young star is one to watch in 2008. Janine Gillion Production Manager Since the birth of Intermission Janine’s passion for theatre has been realised in becoming a ‘Missioner to the Arts’. This enables her to not only be involved with the creation of productions at Intermission Theatre and also to support the cast and crew of all past and present Intermission supported projects. Her understanding of theatre has come from her Drama School training and work as a professional actor, which has gone hand in hand with her passion for teaching. She is married to Rob. Marrying an actor who became a vicar has meant that God and the theatre, for her, always go hand in hand.
