OC Alex Lawther's Continuing Success

Old Churcherian Alex Lawther's acting career is going from strength to strength as his latest film Ghost Stories was released in cinemas on Friday 6 April.

You can read this review on the Radio Times website as well as in other press and media. From that Radio Times review, Terry Staunton says:

As good as the old hands are, they run the risk of being overshadowed by the performance of relative newcomer Alex Lawther, a star in the ascendancy following his lead role in TV’s The End of the F***ing World.

 

All three men’s flashback stories are edge-of-the-seat stuff, but Goodman’s initial interview with Lawther’s schoolboy Simon in the present day takes creepiness to hitherto unseen heights, thanks to an actor capable of prompting goosebumps with the slightest shift in his expressions.

Meanwhile, it has been announced that the play Alex was in at The Young Vic in December, The Jungle, is set to transfer to the West End later this year, and Alex has confirmed he will reprise his role in this, as will the majority of the actors. Those of us who saw this play last year were hugely moved and impressed by the whole production. When she saw it, Emma Freud tweeted “Possibly the best play I have ever seen. If there is any way you can get a ticket, it’s a game changer.” I would definitely recommend you try and see this show, it is amazing. The Jungle runs at The Playhouse Theatre from 5 July to 3 November and tickets are on sale now.

Alex has also just completed a film entirely in French and has recently given a brief interview to Digital Spy about what he might like to see if there were to be a second series of The End of the F***ing World.

A huge well done to Alex and we wish him every success in his next venture!
