First up, is the guy who is playing Ferdinand (the King of Navarre), Stephen Collins. He is probably one of the more well-known members of the cast having acted in Graeae Theatre's successful show, Reasons to be Cheerful.
A native of Bethnal Green, Stephen's first experience of theatre acting was within Deafinitely Theatre's Drama School course two years ago and since then his acting career has really taken off. He's really looking forward to performing Shakespeare:
"I studied Shakespeare at school and know some of his famous work like Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth & Henry 5th. His plays have been translated so many times by different people but yet his plays still feel fresh, original and current. They are great stories! I haven't read many of them but I'm very keen to explore these plays now that I'm doing LLL. It is tricky to study Shakespeare but its not impossible and I'm really excited with what Deafinitely theatre is coming up with. I think for every actor, you want to do at least one of his plays in your lifetime."
