DISCLAIMER: The management of Perrotts Puppet Players would like it to be known that the following resumes of the Actors appearing in our shows were supplied to us by the artistes themselves or their agents and we bear no responsibility whatsoever for the absolute codswallop and drivel that may be contained therein.

We would also like to apologise for any discrepancies, omissions or downright lies that they may have perpetrated.

		Wat ? (This is the only name that we have for Wat as he seems to think that the old "Who's on first base" routine is the height of comedy, and frankly we just got fed up with asking.) Wat received his first acting break in television's Robin of Sherwood as part of a Wandering Players Troupe. He then went on to play several different special effects in Red Dwarf. Wat played the part of Puck in a Merchant of Venice for the Polka Dot theatre (Yes we know, but we didn't have the heart to tell him). He has, most recently appeared in the Muppets Pigs in Space and has twice appeared in The Sooty Show. Wat has also appeared as a patient in TVs Casualty.
		Dame Maggie Melba Perrotts Puppet Players are proud to welcome this great actress to the small stage. Dame Maggie's accomplishments are so well known that we won't bother to list them here. Suffice to say that she is pretty good, and that we are jolly lucky to have her, and that on no account are we to look a gift-horse in the mouth and ask why, if she is so well known and successful, is she bothering to work for a low-down, flea-bitten organisation like us.
		Gerry Roper Little is known about Gerry's thespian credentials as he was recruited by the producer when looking through the rubbish bins for a lost wallet. "What we needed was somebody suitably rustic for the part of Little John, someone who looks the part." Well, the only way of getting more rustic than Gerry is to employ a sod of earth. (Some might say we already have) and as for looking the part, he looks like the hedge that someone got pulled backwards through. Gerry does all his own stunts and nearly got a standing ovation (if only the audience had joined in) for losing his head in Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight.
		Rosie De Monforte Rosie trained at RADA and has appeared in many plays for the RSC, her roles have included; Juliet, Lady Macbeth and Helen of Troy in Dr Faustus. Rosie has gone from strength to strength whilst with Perrotts Puppet Players, starring as the femme-fatale in Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight, Red Riding Hood and of course the ill-fated Lady Felice in Sir Guy of Warwick and the Dun Cow. Rosie understudied for Rumpleteaser in Cats. She appeared briefly as an extra in Keep the Aspidistra Flying and was a Patient in Casualty.
		Maude Watkins Maude graduated from RADA and has appeared in several Merchant Ivory productions including, Room With a View where she played a childs doll, Howards End and Jewel in the Crown. Maude also starred in the Merry wives of Windsor playing a merry wife. She has lately been playing Mother Courage in Stratford. Maude has also appeared in Casualty as a concerned mother.
		George St.John-Smythe George (or Bertie as he is known to his friend) rowed for Eton (he was the rudder) and did several productions for the Cambridge Footlights. He appeared at the Edinburgh Festival in A Very Strange Play where he produced a show-stopping performance as Monsieur Le Poseur. He was immediately snapped up to appear in St. George and the Dragon for Perrotts Puppet Players. He is currently considering a role as a severely injured patient in Casualty.
		Juan Bandana Juan has appeared in many films before coming to Britain. These include: A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Mask of Zorro. (In fact any time someone wants a 'Jonny Foreigner' type actor (even though Juan is really called Stephen and comes from Croydon) He has performed as Iago in "That thing by Shakespeare", Tybalt in "You know, the other one by Shakespeare, oh go on you do - you know, the really famous one", Richard III, and Rosencrantz or Guildenstern in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. Juan also played an ambulance driver in Casualty.
		Giles Howard Giles graduated from RADA and as a youth appeared in the Sooty show, Pogles Wood, and Basil Brush. His film roles include: The Prisoner of Zenda (although he won't say which version) and performed for many years in the RSC (puppets) playing many roles including King Lear, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Dr Faustus,Shylock and Prospero. Giles has organised several living history events and was recently Widow Twankey in Aladdin. Giles has also played a Consultant in Casualty.
		The newest recruit to Perrotts Puppet Players is Elinor who has taken over from Ruth. She is very new to the stage but is brimming with acting talent and not only takes direction well, but has a great many valuable comments to make and on no account was this entry made under duress and the editor has in no way been intimidated by those big sharp teeth. Elinor is a traditional Welsh dragon but she is getting over this now.
		For anyone who cares Ruth our previous house dragon has now retired and is living comfortably in an old Dragon's home with all the sheep she can eat, and it is a foul vicious slur to say that she is now residing in the rags bag awaiting her new role as a shoe-cleaning rag. Ruth had a myriad of different roles in her career including a monster in the Muppet Show, A green long-necked monster in Star Trek - The Next Generation, The Grendel's Mother in Beowulf, A Dragon in Erik the Viking, and as the Figurehead on a Longship in the 13th Warrior. Ruth also played a Porter in Casualty.
