South West based actor Ed Berry has landed the lead in Penny dreadful 3: The Screaming Skull.
Ed debuted upon the scene last year in the self penned ‘The Parting’ , then followed with a lead in ‘Lost Moments’ and as support in ‘A Funny affair’, all of which were performed at Exeter University in May 2007 as part of the Action Drama programme . After his cameo as the cowardly Fop in the Ashley Thorpe Penny Dreadful ‘Scayrecrow‘ Ed performed in a showcase of Absurd Monologues and Duologues in the Northcott Theatre lounge, playing Rosencrantz from ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead’ by Tom Stoppard.
Ed recently had this to say:
“It’s been an interesting year; a broke cheating businessman, a coma victim, a gay barman, Rosencrantz, a Fop and now a WW1 solidier! …. if you liked ‘Scayrecrow’ you going to love ‘The Screaming Skull’. Making this film has been the best thing I’ve done in my brief acting career so far and i cant wait to see the end result. The look of terror i have in my eyes isnt acting but me being scared to move in those damn trousers which only got worse from all the eating and drinking we did in between takes. I only hope after wearing that gear i can still have kids one day who will be able to enjoy ‘The Screaming Skull’ as much as you all will.”
‘The Screaming Skull’ is currently in development and is due for completion October 2008 with screenings aimed for Halloween.
