Tosca (part 2)

17th June 2010

Unfortunately Brad's had to leave Beach Break a day early in order to head back to London.
The English National Opera have asked Brad to come back in as stunt co-ordinator on Tosca to run through choreography and safety with the show's understudies.

Always happy to work with a superb company like ENO, Brad's left the sun, sea and frivolities to hit London's West End.
