Theatre

Roger has concentrated most of his career to date in the theatre. He joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1981 and has had a great variety of roles over the years. I have seen him in a lot of them and have greatly enjoyed each and every performance. He recently joined the National Theatre and has done some great work with them too. You can click on links to some of the plays for more information and pictures.
