Katherine to the rescue...

With only 12 hours notice, on 12 June 2022 our client Katherine Lunney flew out with two other actors from the UK to cover multiple roles in TNT's production of Othello when sadly three of the cast tested positive for Covid. Katherine had toured in the show in 2020, so re-learnt the lines during the journey to Germany and they all arrived at the theatre at 2pm before going on stage at 4pm! A great example of our client's versatility, passion and teamwork attitude.
