God's Ear
by Jenny Schwartz
Pursued by a Bear's production of Jenny Schwartz's stunning play God's Ear at the Reginald Theatre (the old Seymour Downstairs space). A darkly funny and profoundly moving theatrical vision by a brilliant new American playwright. When Mel and Ted’s son dies, the couple discover the ways in which language sometimes is inadequate when dealing with loss.
I was called in to perfect their American accents. The cast were all very talented and dedicated, meaning I could get very specific - which is great to do, not just for me but for the actors as well. Their hard work on every aspect, and the director's detailed guidance, really paid off.
Directed by Jonathan Wald, produced by Jocelyn Brewer, and with an amazing cast comprised of Natasha Beaumont, Julian Garner, Victoria Greiner, Helen O'Leary, Kieran Foster, Cam Knight and Gael Ballantyne. The season ran Thursday 10 Nov to Saturday 3 Dec with previews Thursday 10 and Friday 11 Nov.

I was very proud to have rated a mention for my work in one review which said "Nick Curnow as dialect coach has done an absolutely superb job - you almost believe the cast is American, which is a massive achievement." Stage Whispers by Whitney Fitzsimmons
