Evelyn Frith and Jim Tubbs-Galley first played husband and wife in 1995 when they were Ancient Pistol and Mistress Quickly in Henry V, the first Progress production in the Abbey Ruins. Fifteen years later they are reunited as Mr. and Mrs. Samsa in Steven Berkoff's adaptation of Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
In his day job Jim is a hypnotherapist and helps people overcome addictions. One of the addictions he can help people with is nicotine which as he is a longterm heavy smoker himself may seem a little strange but he says he feels he is a good warning of the dangers of smoking!
With a week to go until Metamorphosis opens on the 11th October the cast and director were hard at work on Sunday afternoon. They were looking at the exact intonation of particular lines to best express the frustration of the characters.
