OTTC veteran, David Howell has snapped up the part of movie producer from hell, Buddy Ackerman.

"He's a menace – your worst boss experience", says David. "It's all about power and manipulation. Buddy's a chauvinist and that comes out in the play. He's actually got some likenesses in character to the Richard IIIs or the Alan B'Stards of this world. He's not a nice guy at all. Great to play though!"
