Elliot Barnes-Worrell - Groom

Elliot Barnes-Worrell might be familiar to Whovians - he played the Athlete in the 11th Doctor Olympic special episode Good as Gold.

He also starred in The Loneliness of the Long Distant Runner at the York Theatre Royal in 2012.

This is the trailer from the play:



"Elliot Barnes-Worrell's extraordinary performance as banged-up Colin Smith is a glorious tour de force of pent up rage."
The Independent ****

"Elliot Barnes-Worrell not only puts in an aggressively charismatic performance as Alan Sillitoe's antisocial athlete..." - The Guardian ****

"Elliot Barnes-Worrell plays Colin Smith, long-distance runner, with awesome athleticism and moving commitment." - The Observer

 Elliot will be playing the part of The Groom in Richard II:



I was a poor groom of thy stable, king,
When thou wert king; who, travelling towards York,
With much ado at length have gotten leave
To look upon my sometimes royal master's face.
