Geoff Knott


Profile

Geoff joined DMTC in November 2005 to take the part of a second-class passenger, Charles Clarke, in "Titanic the Musical" in January 2006. This was Geoff's first venture into musical theatre and joining the wonderful members of DMTC was the best introduction he could have had.

Titanic turned out to be a moving and powerful show which affected performers and audience alike and it was an experience he will never forget.

He had previously enjoyed singing in his local choir for several years, as well as performing Geordie songs and comic musical sketches in Brancepeth's annual Christmas show.

In January 2008 he joined the chorus for "Mack & Mabel", a wonderful, helter-skelter show with numerous and seemingly impossible costume changes and was surprised and delighted that he managed to get through all the dance routines without drawing too much adverse attention.

In the Keystone Cops sequence, he particularly enjoyed his silent portrayal of a bank manager being blown up by a group of criminals. Geoff is delighted to be taking the part of Avram the bookseller in Fiddler on the Roof.
