It is a great pleasure to announce that I am currently recreating my performances as the two butlers, Lane and Merriman in The Importance of Being Earnest. This production, by Antic Disposition, originally played to much acclaim and full houses at the Jermyn Street Theatre in London in the summer of 2007. ("Peter Mair...does some highly entertaining scene stealing." -musicomh.com).

This time we shall be in Sidmouth (May 13th, 14th, 15th at the Manor Pavilion Theatre - box office 01395 514413), in London (June 10th, 11th, 12th at the Cochrane Theatre, Holborn - box office 020 7269 1606) and in Southwest France at various outdoor venues between August 3rd and 11th, (details at www.festivalshakespeare.org). There is just a possibility that the production will also be seen in Milan in the autumn.

Other heart warming news came recently when the Royal Opera House's new production of Tristan und Isolde won an Olivier Award, as did Nine Stemme who's magical Isolde will always be an especially thrilling memory for me. Although my non-singing involvement in Christof Loy's production was small, it's a terrific feeling to have been part of an Olivier Award winner.
