T'is only one name comes to mind when thinking of The Covetous Miserable Old Sinner - who but the man obsessed by a pound of flesh could take on such a meaty role?


On the Third Day of Christmas My Casting Choice would be...

Shylock (Merchant of Venice) – Scrooge

Banquo (Macbeth) – Marley’s Ghost

Ariel (The Tempest) Ghost of Christmas Past

Falstaff (Henry VI) – Ghost of Christmas Present

Richard III- (Richard III) Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come

Mistress Quickly (Henry VI) – Mrs. Dilber

Benedick ( Much Ado About Nothing ) - Bob Cratchit

Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing) – Mrs. Cratchit

Puck (The Tempest) – Tiny Tim

Ferdinand – (The Tempest) – Fred

*** Three Vats of Mead, Two Highballs of Jack Daniels, and a Tumbler of Glenmorangie Single Malt, O'Toole, Leary and Falstaff in a Tree.***
