Originally from San Diego, he has appeared with both the Old Globe Theatre and San Diego Repertory Company.

She has previously ap- peared with Theatre 40 several times, most recently as Laura Medway in A Shred of Evidence, Janet in Ac- complice, Countess Doris in Flare Path, and in past years in multiple roles (including the dog!) in Christmas Times, and as Annie in The Norman Conquests.

One day she will play Lady Bracknell. #Pro99. www.AlisonBlanchard.com KATHERINE HENRYK (Lady Alice) received her formal theatre training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

BRUCE GRAY (Director) recently directed what one critic called his “fabulous” producti on of The Little Foxes at Theatre 40, garnering several “Critic’s Choices” as a result. The year before, he directed his 17th show for the company: Somerset Maugham’s classic The Con- stant Wife. Previously he had helmed two thoroughly modern comedies Chekhov in Yalta (Critic’s Choice) and Veronica’s Position. Following a five-year hiatus (whence he played a series lead in Lifetime’s Traders…Gemini Award), he was invited back to Theatre 40 to direct Plastic for the One Act Festival. He has directed a play each year for the Company, from Neil Simon’s moving Chapter Two to Seymor in the Very Heart of Winter (Critic's Choice). His 9th directorial assign- ment for Theatre 40 was a revival of Joe Orton’s comic masterpiece What the Butler Saw. His earlier productions of Orton’s Loot and En- tertaining Mr. Sloane received multiple Drama-logue awards, and were nominated for Robbie and LA Weekly awards. The LA Times called his 1982 staging of Blythe Spirit for Theatre 40 the year’s most beautiful production. Gray has directed at virtually every major Waiver Theatre in town, from his controversial production of My Life in Art at the Tiffany to the AIDS play seven sundays (Drama-logue) at Theatre 40 (later transferring to the Odyssey). His 1993 production of the Holocaust play Shayna Maidel was hailed by critics as “won- drous. It doesn’t get better than this.” (www.bruce-gray.com) PETER COKE (Playwright): Peter John Coke, actor, writer and sculp- tor was born in on April 3 1913 and died July 30 2008.

Coke eventually won a scholarship to Rada. And several West End roles followed before the second world war, WHO’S WHO when he became a major in the Royal Artillery, serving in north Africa. On returning Coke began writing on early British TV, producing the earliest TV "serials", Operation Diplomat (1952) and The Teckman Biography (1953-54). From 1950 onwards, Coke wrote several boulevard plays, the most successful being Breath of Spring (1958), about a bunch of mildly larcenous old ladies, later musicalised on Broadway as 70, Girls, 70 (1971). It was also loosely filmed as Make Mine Mink (1960), starring Terry-Thomas. Coke's feature films included Keep Smiling (1938), with Gracie Fields; and I Met a Murderer (1939), starring James Mason. As well as a very active career as an actor, he remained a prolific writer for both stage and screen. Having retired from acting in 1976, he returned to the family base in . Coke developed a fascination with intricate sculptures made from seashells.
