ERIC NASH, one of the newest members of the ADAPT Theatre Group, moved to Spain in 2010 after selling his business in South Africa.
Joining the Stage: From Amateur to ADAPT
Eager to stay active, he joined local amateur dramatics. ‘I am now a widower and to keep myself active I was persuaded to join a theatre group and have been in a few amateur dramatic productions on the Costa Blanca,’ he said. His first role was in a series of sketches with the Campoverde Theatre group, followed by Treasure Island.
After starring as ‘Head Elf’ in Snow White and the 7 Christmas Elves, Eric joined ADAPT, drawn by their bilingual performances. ‘Another challenge to keep my brain active,’ he said. The group gives him the chance to meet new people and learn the language in a fun, supportive setting.
Upcoming Role: Prince Charming Takes the Spotlight
Eric’s next role sees him promoted to Prince Charming in ADAPT’s upcoming panto, Snow White and the 7 Guiris, this November. ‘Doing Panto has been great fun, and I would recommend anyone to have a go,’ he added.
