“I have had some success and I am very lucky to have had my work, short plays and short films, be produced all over the UK and across the pond in New York City. 

Abandoned has been almost two years in the making. I’m excited to finally see it performed and to make my directing debut.

Thank you to my amazing cast! They are some of the funniest and most talented bunch of actors I’ve had the chance to work with! 

Thank you to Matthew Ford and Rhys Jones for their constant support, ideas and all their help through the many rehearsals.

A special thank you goes to the Old Market Tavern for allowing us to take over their function room for rehearsals and to Little Man Coffee Company for all their help in producing Abandoned.

 After graduating from film studies, it is not without a sense of irony that Ben took the plunge into acting instead. Having gradually built up a backlog of various performances since 2014, such as a 2-man play called “The Universe plc” and landing one of the lead roles in a Comedy-Drama Web Series 'Whovians' (2015 - 2016), he has not looked back since. The future is looking ever more optimistic and he can't wait to perform 'Abandoned' with the rest of its very talented cast!

Born in South Wales, Teddy has always been fascinated with TV and Film, and has predominantly worked behind the camera. His talents can be seen through his own Media Company, No.37 Media.

Abandoned marks Teddy’s debut to the stage. Although he has previously appeared in “Whovians”, “Sketchy AF”, and short films "Magic" and "Good Grief" , this will be the first time he has tackled a major acting role in a production.

  Lisa is a South Wales based actress with a great passion for both screen and stage. She graduated with a Master’s Degree in Drama from the University of South Wales, where she explored drama through both theory and practical assignments, which culminated in a major production of her own work. Lisa has achieved her LAMDA acting qualifications and has trained with Stagecoach Theatre Arts alongside many local youth theatres.  She has many acting credits to her name, such as the principal role of Audrey in “Little Shop of Horrors”, and the award nominated Web Series “Whovians” where she played Anna.

 An experienced spoken word performer and published poet, Terrance has performed his own work throughout South Wales and further afield for over ten years. He is an executive producer and writer for the comedy-drama series Whovians, which was recently nominated for Best Web Series at the UK Offline Web Fest 2017. Recent stage roles include God in 'Waiting For Bob' at the Talent Associates' A Night With The Stars, and seven Terry Pratchett plays for Monstrous Productions Theatre Company. He is delighted to be part of Abandoned, working   with an amazingly talented cast and crew.

 Sarah made her acting debut in 2016 with Axon Theatre, in David Greig’s “Being Norwegian”, performing at both the Cardiff and Edinburgh Fringe Theatre Festivals. Since then she has had numerous lead and supporting roles in short films, including “The Wolf & I” which was officially selected for three international film festivals this year. She has thoroughly enjoyed being a part of “Abandoned”. Later this year Sarah is due to perform in “The Great Gatsby” with Everyman Theatre, and the lead role in “The Last Nickel” with Monocle Theatre Company.

 Five years ago, Isabelle took the plunge into the world of acting and has never looked back. Her experiences have taken her both on stage and in front of the camera. In that time, she has worked with multiple theatre companies. Most recently in the past two years Isabelle has performed in a modern iteration of “As You Like It” for the RSC’s Open Stage and Nikolai Gogol’s “The Government Inspector” for Russia ’17. Now, she has found herself in a cast of incredible actors under a one, Matthew Fisher – this is the story of Abandoned
