On Monday 16th March 2020, The Society of London Theatre announced the closure of all Theatres in London. This followed suit with regional venues. Where were you when you found out and what was your initial reaction?
I had finished Come From Away about a month earlier. So I had decided to take about a month out to just recharge and get back on the audition track. THEN BAM! Monday 16th March happened. I was at home and my housemate was rehearsing a play at the Royal Court, and when she told me it had been cancelled I really realised it was real. Was in shock, but didn’t know what to think really.
Can you tell us anything productive you’ve been doing?
I used to bake a lot, and as I was doing the show I just couldn’t find the time. So I decided to get back on that and try out new techniques/styles. I’ve also had a sewing machine for a while and haven’t really used it. I wanted to get better, so I started making T-Shirts and then masks when I realised we needed them too.
Feel free to look at my bakes on Instagram @bakewithnate
