Erika Sanderson in white tie and tails standing in front of a microphone. Her hair is slicked and side parted. Her eyes look up and out to the audience with a pensive expression, and her hands are held raised slightly in front of her while singing a Victorian ballad.

Had a wonderful weekend as MC and singing some music hall alongside a talented group of young performers for a fundraising event with @unboundtheatre.bsky.social

Looking rather dapper, if I must say!

A great start to a powerful play.

Many, many years ago I was nearly cast in a production of Godot, but Beckett and the rights stipulate that a woman can NOT play any of the roles.

Not only that, we've received delivery of the script books for 'Apple Pips'. If you want to grab a copy they're on sale at Queens Park Arts Centre.

A glass case exhibit titled β€œDancing with Austen”. Inside the case can be seen a pair of Regency ladies dancing slippers, a pale blue Regency dress and a Regency gentleman’s outfit in dark green and blue.

In front of the case, Helen Davidge stands as Emma. She has dark hair in curls. She wears a white Regency dress with long white gloves and a necklace with a red jewel.
Her arm is linked through with Erika Sanderson’s as Knightley. Erika wears a dark blue Regency tailcoat, with white shirt and cravat, and a green jacquard waistcoat. Her beige trousers are tucked into knee high black and brown riding boots.

Many thanks to the @bodleian.ox.ac.uk for inviting Helen Davidge and myself to perform scenes from Jane Austen’s Emma today.

We’ll be back in October, performing excerpts from Georgette Heyer!

Watch closely and you can see a snippet of me performing β€œScenes from Emma” at the Dress Up Day last summer.

Catch me at the Bodleian Library tomorrow!

Sometimes it feels selfish being an actor, existing for β€˜entertainment’ when so much of the world is hurting.

Art is important. Creativity is at the heart of humanity and can soothe the soul.

Yes! We've known each other for years, and she asked me to work with her on some dramatic scenes/readings for Austen's 250th anniversary to compliment her historical dance group. They were received well, so we're continuing this year.
She's a wonderful Emma to play opposite.

I had a wonderful summer performing these scenes at various places, including Jane Austen's house at Chawton. It's lovely to be back at it!

Bicester? Milton Keynes? I’d suggest Aylesbury, but there are some reet dodgy actors round those parts…

The Discord AI survey is quick and simple and (unlike a lot of similar surveys) does actually let you clearly state that you don't want it. Shall we do that?
