TGt Meets…Count Arthur Strong

Arthur is delivering the Charles Dickens story at Komedia with his own adaptation of the most classic of festive tales, A Christmas Carol. Read our TGt Meets with him, to find out his thoughts on this.

1. How excited are you to be performing in a Christmas Carol?

I’m literally more excited than I’ve ever been in my life. And that includes the last time I was more excited than this.

2. Can you tell us more about your own twist that you have put on the performance?

I’m afraid not. If I told you that everybody would be doing it.

3. What is it like performing at Komedia?

Well, I get changed, stand in the wings for a bit, then walk on and do the show. Should I get to the end of it, I expect there’ll be a smattering of applause.

4. You say you are extending a fond farewell...is this your last performance?

Depends.

5. How do you feel about that?

Literally the same as I felt before about it.

6. Looking back at your career what has been the highlight?

Filling this in. I really feel as though I’ve made it.
