Darren Coutts
Biography taken from 2008 (Pirates) programme: Darren first started singing in Aberdeen with the highly successful ‘Bankhead Youth Theatre’. They were the first amateur company to win 3 consecutive fringe first awards at the Edinburgh festival. His first foray at the Kings Theatre was playing the lead role of Curly in ‘Oklahoma’. He went on to play Pluto in ‘Orpheus in the Underworld’ before taking up his first role for the Edinburgh G & S society, Strephon in ‘Iolanthe’. Since then he has played Giuseppe in ‘The Gondoliers’, Robin of Loxley in ‘Ivanhoe’, Strephon for a second time and, last year, the role of Frederic in ‘The Pirates of Penzance’. He has performed in a number of concerts and shows in the Churchill including one of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s little known shows ‘Allegro’. Playing John Hinckley in Stephen Sondheim’s ‘Assassins’ at the end of last year was a great experience and he is looking forward to tackling more Sondheim in the future but for now it’s off to Venice and Barataria. Rehearsals have been fun and full of exercise. (You should try doing “Regular Royal Queen” 12 times!) Performing Credits:
