📣 Chris Tomkins (@chrisjhtomkins) is currently appearing in Sisters at the Jack Studio Theatre (@brocjacktheatre), produced by Uncommon People Theatre (@uncommontheatrepeople) and running until 26 April.
Written by David Storey and set in 1970s Yorkshire, the play brings three characters together in a quiet domestic space—until the past begins to press in. Chris plays Tom, an ex-footballer with a simmering intensity that keeps the audience on edge.
Theatre & Tonic praised his “excellent physicality,” noting how he “conveys just as much with a look full of menacing intensity as he does with his delivery of dialogue.” The Reviews Hub described his performance as “outstanding,” and called his presence “unsettling in the best way.”
