From RWCMD to The RNT

This summer, several RWCMD graduates appeared in productions at the National Theatre.

Eric Kofi Abrefa (above) – who graduated in 2012 – played David in The Amen Corner. His performance was described as “exemplary” by The Guardian and “outstanding work” by The Telegraph.

Eric’s classmate Kat Pearce appeared in Simon Stephens’ Port earlier in the year and, fresh from graduating earlier this year, Wilf Scolding appeared in Strange Interlude, alongside Anne-Marie Duff.

And Lyndsey Marshal has just completed a run of Othello, where she played Emilia alongside Rory Kinnear’s Iago. Rebecca Tanwen (graduated 2010) was also in the cast. The performance was broadcast in cinemas across the country as part of NT Live.
