Today is the first preview night of the Wars of the Roses at the Rose Theatre, Kingston. Alex plays the title role of Henry VI in the first instalment.

The Rose theatre is filling up now, as the audience waits for the house to open.

It’s raining outside, but that hasn’t spoilt the view of a lovely head shot of Alex on the building.

The Alex Waldmann News blogger is here, and will report on how it all goes.
