Actor Con deserves a top award

From the Evening Press, first published Monday 14th Feb 2005.

THIS week I went to the most moving and powerful performance I have seen in a theatre for a long time.

Con O'Neil in Telstar at York's Grand Opera House, performed the most convincing descent into madness and ultimate suicide to the point I was convinced he wasn't in the real world when he took his well deserved bow at the end of the play.

His performance deserves an award.

I am not a judge for the Olivier awards so the only thing I can do is offer this glowing report and hope I see Con win recognition for this very special performance.

C M Bainton,

Holgate Road, York.
