2011 Landscape Duff Pinter Ustinov, Theatre Royal Bath Maggie Henderson George Irving as Duff George Irving as Duff ...brilliantly deploying Pinter’s notorious pauses to illuminate what shadows their seemingly random recollections of feeding ducks, lying on a beach, standing on a railway platform.

2011  Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?  George  Albee  Octagon Theatre, Bolton Margot Leicester, Tammy Joelle, Kieran Hill George Irving as George Irving shines as George, with his dry delivery and natural flair for performing.
