Andrew Forrest

Andrew’s appearance The Great Coarse Acting Show in September 2000, cemented his reputation within Pantheon for being able to skillfully portray very bad acting.

His first brush with the stage was back in 1996 as a stripping Cowboy in Guys’n’Gals’ production of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. His first principal role came in 2000, as Riff Raff in A Tribute To The Rocky Horror Show, a special Hallowe’en event at Princes Square [glasgowguide.co.uk]. He has since played obsessive madman, Roland Maule in Noël Coward’s Present Laughter (2002, Eastwood Theatre), appeared in two runs of Jesus Christ Superstar at The King’s and played drunken stage manager, Ralph in Pantheon’s Kiss Me Kate (April 2004).

In November 2002 Andrew made his directorial debut with 60 Watt Theatre Co. [sixtywatt.co.uk] and their production of Maskerade at The Cottier Theatre. He returned to The Cottier in November 2004 as the titular Inspector Goole in An Inspector Calls, and strutted into Gilmorehill G12 in 2005, playing John Knox in Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off.

Andrew has also stage-managed (The Steamie and Passing Places), designed sets (The Steamie) and (more often than you might think) puppeteered giant alien monsters (Little Shop of Horrors and Return to The Forbidden Planet).

Andrew also spends way too much time maintaining the Pantheon Web site [pantheontheatre.co.uk].
