Hello everyone, and welcome back to A Teenager’s Take on Shakespeare! Today’s amazing guest is Dominic Brewer.

In this episode, we discuss the Danish prince we all know and love, a weak king whose reflections on solitude are still resonant today (one might call him the Hamlet of the histories) and a cunning, stunningly charming actor-playwright, as many call him, determined to orchestrate the protagonist’s downfall.

Dominic is a UK based actor and singer, with over twenty years of credits in plays and musicals, at home and abroad.

After studying English and Drama at St. Mary's University in Twickenham, he trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

His work in theatre includes West End, regional repertory, national and international tours across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, as well as concert appearances in venues including Wilton's Music Hall, the Hammersmith Apollo and the Royal Albert Hall.

He was a member of the company of the Olivier and Tony award-winning productions of "Twelfth Night" and "Richard III" that transferred from Shakespeare's Globe to the West End and Broadway with Mark Rylance and Stephen Fry.

Some notable roles include Sir Henry in "The Hound of the Baskervilles" for the Barn Theatre, Cirencester; the title role in "Dracula", Puck in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and Harold in "Harold and Maude" in European and world tours for TNT Theatre; Timon in Disney's "The Lion King"; Octavius Caesar in "Antony and Cleopatra" for Creation Theatre; Flute in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and Nanki-Poo in "The Mikado" for the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough; Richard Rich in "A Man For All Seasons", Jem Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird" and Justin West in "Dolly West's Kitchen" at Pitlochry Festival Theatre, and Earl in "Whistle Down the Wind" in the West End.

During coronatimes he was a proud contributor to the award winning "The Show Must Go Online" and "Shakespeare Republic" web series, and is currently performing in the UK and Canadian tour of the new musical "Fisherman's Friends”.
