Actor and RGS Alumnus Returns to Perform in Worcester

Alumnus Charlie Day has experienced an incredibly successful acting career since completing his A Levels at RGS Worcester in 2016. After leaving RGS, Charlie trained in Acting at Bath School of Music and Performing Arts and shortly after completed an MA in Performing Shakespeare.

On Thursday 20 October, Charlie performed in the Vesta Tilley Studio, which is part of Worcester Theatre, in ‘MILKED’ a black comedy written by Simon Longman. Charlie commented about the play: “Two mates find a dying cow in a field, and set about trying to…deal with it. A funny and moving black comedy about friendship, unemployment and a cow called Sandy”. Remembering his RGS days and experiences with Drama here at School, Charlie says “Everyone in the Drama department was fantastic; they really set me up to go on and do what I wanted to do. It was such an important time for me.” 

Charlie is a talented thespian and has written, produced and performed in a number of shows, most recently taking his own play ‘Rock Bottom’ to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it received rave five-star reviews. He is also one of the founders of ‘Fresh Life Theatre’, a company that reimagines classical texts and introduces new talents to the drama industry.

Director of Drama at RGS Worcester, Mrs Jilly Witcomb, reflects on Charlie’s career and successes saying, “Charlie is deserving of his success! I first met Charlie as he started Lower Sixth and his drive and determination to be on stage was second to none – nothing was going to stop him! This hard work has been rewarded and I am very proud of what he has already achieved and look forward to all that the future will bring for him.”
