Netflix series beckons for Tom

After touring for five months with the hilarious The Importance Of Being … Earnest?, former Chichester Festival Youth Theatre member Tom Bulpett is currently working on a show for Netflix.

It’s too soon to say what the show is but Tom is relishing the challenge. Most likely it will be screened in 2025.

“It's a noir detective story being adapted from a book and it is a fantastic cast. I was filming for three weeks and I'm going back up and I'll be working on it until July.

"It has been fascinating. It's verydifferenttoanythingi'veeverplayedbefore.it'safascinating experienceandi'vehadtodoalot of research.”

As for The Importance Of Being … Earnest?, which played the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth last November, that too was a great experience – a stageshowwhich offeredtheimportanceofbeing Earnest as you have never seen it before… and never will again.

The tour is still on the road. Say It Again, Sorry take Oscar Wilde’sgreatclassicandreinvent itbeforeourveryeyeswithamischievousness which would have left even the great Oscar purring with pleasure. The premise is that it all starts normally enough as the company starts to go Wilde, but when a key actor doesn’t turn up, the company, after plenty of fumblings and ditherings, decides to rope in a replacement from the audience. And so it goes on…

“I was with the show for five months,” Tom says. “It was a fantasticshow.it'sreallygreatandit was a lovely company of actors. It really kept you on your toes. It wasneveraboringshowbecause youjustneverknewwhatwasgoing to happen!”
