Cette semaine a été très importante dans la carrière intérimaire de Simon MacCorkindale, 21 ans. Il a fait sa première apparition professionnelle - au Théâtre de Belgrade dans le 'A Bequest to the Nation' de Terence Rattigan. Il y joue un capitaine de mer appelé Blackwood. Et le personnage est assez approprié, parce que Simon, le fils d'un pilote d'air, a fait plus de voyages dans sa vie que la plupart d'entre nous n'ont à penser.

This has been a very important week in the acting career of 21-year-old Simon MacCorkindale.

"When I left school, I went to drama school in London called Studio 68 of Theatre Arts." There he learnt a lot more about acting.
