Former East Sussex College Performing Arts student to star in Saturday Night Fever UK tour

Harry Goodson-Bevan studied Performing Arts at the College’s Lewes campus and is currently on tour across the UK playing the role of Bobby C.

Harry said: “It’s amazing to have been given this opportunity coming straight out of drama school. Being able to work with such an amazing, creative team and cast from which I have learnt so much has been incredible.

“When my agent first told me about this opportunity it definitely took a bit of time for it to sink in, but the closer I got to rehearsals the more excited I got.

"We opened in Milton Keynes and the response from the audience was incredible. It was also a surreal moment as I realised I was getting paid to do something I loved.”

Following his time at the college, Harry went on to gain a BA(Hons) degree in Musical Theatre at Mountview, graduating this summer.

Speaking about his time at the College, Harry said, “My time at ESC Lewes was great and is probably where I found my passion for theatre and acting.

“My main advice for people wanting to go into this industry is to try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Unfortunately this business is tough when it comes to rejection, but you have to believe in yourself and trust that you are good. Take everything as it comes.”
