Simon King
Simon first performed with the Worcester based satirical review ensemble, Dismayed In England. He is a co-founder of the Brighton based theatre company, Zone of Discomfort. ZOD’s first offering was a piece of theatre anthology, ‘An Evening with Steven Berkoff.’ ZOD concentrated exclusively on performing the work of the up-and-coming Brighton playwright, David Allen, beginning with his play, Don’t Worry About Him, based loosely on Rose West. Simon directed and performed in all of the productions of Allen’s work, and was especially pleased to have a piece, Happy, written exclusively for him.
Since coming to Loughborough, Simon has focused on recording, acting in Jonathan Taylor’s play for radio The Music Master, based on the life of black composer, Joseph Emidy, and has had parts in many of the plays recorded for Crystal Clear Creators. He has also performed work by various writers at events held in Loughborough and Leicester.
While not especially wanting to play Hamlet, Simon secretly thinks that he has it in him to be the best Dr. Who since Tom Baker.
