Hello and welcome to the official website for actor/musician/writer/director Hadley Fraser.
It's been a wee while in coming, but the updated site aims to keep you
abreast of everything that Hadley's doing. The site will be added to and
embellished in the near future, so please check back in again soon...
news...
Hadley's very honoured to be named a Patron of the fantastic PPA theatre college in Guildford, UK. Here's their website for more details (he's the one after Bonnie Langford and Kerry Ellis by the way)...
coming up...
THE PAJAMA GAME at Chichester Minerva Theatre Apr 22nd - June 8th 2013
Hadley's delighted to be making his Chichester Festival Theatre debut as Sid Sorokin in this old humdinger of a show. With a creative dream team (Director Richard Eyre, Choreographer Stephen Mear & Musical Director Gareth Valentine) and a cast including two-time Olivier Award winner Joanna Riding and old sparring-partner Peter Polycarpou, this promises to be a trip worth taking. The Minerva's small, and the run is short (so no holiday dates to be concerned about), so get your tickets while ye can.
ALBUM
With a bit of luck and a following wind, Hadley's first album should be happening sometime in the not-too-distant future. Being a believer in contributing to the greater original good, the album will be entirely self-written. For a taste of what sort of thing might make the album, have a look a this wee video here...
LES MISERABLES (the movie film) December 2012
Not content with being in the show every night in London's glittering West End, Hadley's taking part in bringing LES MISERABLES to the Silver Screen.
Freshly released upon an eagerly waiting world, LES MISERABLES is the big screen adaptation of Claude-Michel Schonberg & Alain Boublil's stage show, directed by Tom Hooper (Best Director Academy Award Winner for THE KING'S SPEECH). Hadley is wearing a mustache & shooting various revolutionary types after asking them nicely to stop. Yes he's the chap who usually stands off stage, the Army Officer, but rest assured he's in-front of the camera for the film.
SHACKLED
Hadley recently shot SHACKLED, a short film from writers Ellie Emptage & Shirine Best and director Nour Wazzi. Here's a synopsis...
"Held captive by a circus, Malu (Emilia Clarke, GAME OF THRONES) is frantically rescued from her shackles by her husband, Jesse (Hadley Fraser). As Malu anxiously waits in the darkness for her chance to escape, a disturbing memory she’s hidden away slowly seeps back in..."
