Roy Barraclough
Date: 9th September 1985
Theatre: Swansea
Production: The Railway Children
Character: Perks
Review: Played the stationmaster who also acts as the chorus to tell the story. This he did amiably enough and with his pleasant comedy style was a good solid centrepiece. 5’7″ bald mid-40s.
Date: 20th September 1989
Theatre: Farnham
Production: Death of a Salesman
Character: Willy Loman
Review: Played this long tragic central role with great feeling and control. His rotund friendly appearance somehow added to the tragedy and he managed the American accent reasonably well and played it with feeling and clarity. 5’7″ early 50s.
