Patrick Jumps into Septimus

There’s never a dull moment in the theatre! Due to an illness in the cast, Patrick had to jump into the role of Septimus with little warning. He had never had a formal put-in rehearsal, but nevertheless, he hit every mark and kept the production going.

He performed the role for two nights. Patrick was just happy to be able to give his friend time to rest, recover and keep the show rolling.

This marks one of the numerous times that Patrick has hopped into a new role and saved a show.
