Ruth Sullivan
Ruth Sullivan has been a Tower member for 14 years and has performed, directed, choreographed and designed sound for many productions in that time. Her most recent play as a director for the Tower was King Charles III which was a large scale ensemble piece but she does have some experience of monologues, having performed in Happy Days. Since the theatre was forced to close last March she has been part of Virtual Tower and the Tower podcast, both directing and performing. As a Foley Artist she’s usually found in a dark studio, making sounds for TV drama and film (as well as an occasional foray into radio) and regularly works with directors such as Katie Mitchell and Simon McBurney to create and perform live theatre sound. She’s one of the Tower’s new Artistic Directors and is so pleased to be finally back in the theatre.
Paul Graves
During this Covid year Paul Graves has performed with Putney Theatre Company in Twelfth Night (Orsino) and Stories from the Attic (Grandma puppeteer). For the Tower, he played Gregor Samsa in the SceneSaver award nominated Metamorphosis in Lockdown. In non-plague years he has performed in The Canterbury Tales (The Priest), Trainspotting (Renton) and 1984 (Winston).
Tyan Archer
Tyan Jones joined the Tower Theatre in 2020 and has participated in many podcasts and virtual plays since. This will be her first live performance with the company. She is thrilled to be cast in Air where the subject matter is so close to her heart. Having struggled with bereavement of a parent herself during her early twenties, the feelings and emotions connected to this well written piece couldn't be more real.
