Joseph_Rutland_as Father in the LIPA Sixth form production of Tipping The Velvet

Tipping The Velvet at LIPA Sixth Form 

For my final piece at LIPA Sixth Form College, my group performed the Sarah Waters play, Tipping the Velvet. I played a number of parts including 'Father,'Ralph, and an umbrella salesman. It was great fun and hard work, and we performed the play over three nights.
 
My accent work was spot on.
 
In the above picture, you can see me as Father, an oyster chef.

 

And here, as Ralph giving a speech at the socialist Rally:

The speech probably went better in Ralph's head.

Why umbrellas? who knows.
