In June and July Peter returned to the North West of England to be in Dean Taylor's outdoor tour of Shakepeare's ‘Comedy of Errors'. He played ‘Antipholus of Ephesus', one of the twin brother characters on who the ‘tragi-comedy' focuses as both brothers are mistaken for each other. Needless to say this leads to hilarious and sometimes painful consequences. More details of ‘Dean Taylor Productions' tour and other work can be found at www.shakespearetheatreoutdoors.co.uk

JACK AND THE BEANSTALK
From 18 th Dec to 6 th Jan 2006/7 Peter played ‘King Broderick' in ‘Jack and the Beanstalk' for ‘Pendle Productions' at the ‘Tivoli Theatre' Wimborne in Dorset . The script was packed with great songs and the usual corny jokes and ‘King Broderick' was a particularly ‘ineffectual' individual with his fair share of comedy moments.

Seduction in New York info
Following successful runs at Baron's Court Theatre, Revenge Club Brighton and The Battersea Arts Centre erotic comedy ‘Seduction' went to New York for the ‘Fringe Theatre Festival' in the last two weeks of August 2005.
Deduction played 5 shows at The Players Theatre New York. The 250 capacity
theatre was sold out for two shows and was close to capacity on the other
three. The show was very well received by audiences and working closely
with the New York based writer Jack Heifner was a valauble experience for all
the cast. We wait eagerly to see what the future holds for 'Seduction'.
‘Seduction' is an all male interpretation of Arthur Schnitzler's ‘LaRonde'. It is a play that comments on a variety of sexual encounters.
The American playwright ‘Jack Heifner' felt it suited a gay interpretation. The play is produced by ‘Shamelessboyz' Theatre Company, who specialise in producing theatre with a leaning towards gay life and relationships.
