REVIEWS OF MY STAGE WORK

​

“…Alex Scott Fairley turns in a charismatic and well-judged performance as Guy...” 

from The Scotsman on A CHORUS OF DISAPPROVAL

 

“Irene Allan and Alex Scott Fairley display a remarkable tenderness in their scenes together,

and the moment in which they first kiss is surprisingly moving…”

from The Times on A CHORUS OF DISAPPROVAL

 

“…most impressive for me was Alex Scott Fairley, playing Hugh Paddick.

While all the voices were spot on, he took on the hardest role, due to Paddick's more varied range of character voices.” 

from Den of Geek on ROUND THE HORNE

​

"Alex Scott Fairley displays deft timing and imaginative characterization..."

from The Surrey Advertiser on THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR

​

"Alex Scott Fairley gives an excellent performance that holds the whole play together.

He has a Cleese-like gift for physical comedy, and his diction is impeccable."

from Scene One Plus on THE 39 STEPS

​

“…Alex Scott Fairley’s ‘The Night I Appeared As Macbeth’ was immaculate and perfectly timed.”

from Local Secrets on THE SHAKESPEARE REVUE

​

“Alex Scott Fairley brings moving touches of remorse to the stiff role of the quintessential upper-middle-class Englishman.”

from The Vienna Review on AN INSPECTOR CALLS

​

“The standout turn has to be that of Alex Scott Fairley, playing his character as if Hiddleston's Loki  had fallen on hard times.

Like the rest of the show, it is a giant of a performance.”

from The Northamptonshire Telegraph on JACK AND THE BEANSTALK

​

“Alex Scott Fairley’s comic predators are a wonder.

His Rattlesnake not only steals the show but has got to be one of the funniest comic performances of the Festival.”

from Musical Theatre Network on THE GRUFFALO

​

“Alex Scott Fairley beweist als solcher ungemeine Wandlungsfähigkeit und vielseitiges Können.

Er schlüpft in jede beliebige Rolle, um der zu sein, den er gerade gibt…”

(“In the part, Alex Scott Fairley shows unusual versatility and all-round ability. He effortlessly slips into every role he plays…”)

from Kultur und Wien on WAS IHR WOLLT / TWELFTH NIGHT

​

​

Proof-reader / Translator / Writer

​

I studied English at Jesus College, Oxford, and graduated with a First.

​

As a proof-reader I have worked with academics from Universität Bern, the Vienna University of Economics,

Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, and University College, London, amongst others,

as well as businesses such as TechAdVenture Ltd., the European Association for Passive Fire Protection,

and the Association of Specialist Underpinnng Contractors.

​

Publications I have proof-read range from Dr. Thomas Köllen's

Sexual Orientation and Transgender Issues in Organizations for Springer Publishing, 

to Robert Marsden's Inside the Rehearsal Room: Process, Collaboration and Decision Making, for Methuen Drama 

and Fiona Mason's memoir 36 Hours for Word for Word Press.

​

"Alex has proof-read all of my English language publications,

and I have never received any language-related notes from any editor or publisher.

He is very reliable, rigorous, and committed, and a very easy person to deal with."

Dr Thomas Köllen, Vienna University of Economics and Business

​

"I would definitely recommend Alex as a proof-reader, because he not only revises translation or grammatical errors,

but gives a personal note to the whole article. Highly recommended!"

Jessica Niedermair, University of Bern

​

“Alex proof-read my PhD thesis and I cannot emphasise enough how wonderful and helpful he was.

Alex's caring nature was a calming influence, as were his dedication and expertise.”

Fiona Zisch, Expermiental Psychology, UCL

​

I speak German, and have regularly worked as a translator for projects

from technical guidelines for Volkswagen, to the stage show Der Grüffelo, for Junges Theater Bonn.  

​

"We love the cooperation we have had with Alex for several years.

His translations are an important contribution to our e-learning, and he is very reliable, quick, and easy to work with."

Michael Sack, Director, Informations- und Qualificationssysteme GmbH, Braunschweig

​

As a writer my work includes the musical Sweet, currently in development with composer Danny Davies,

several two-hander pantomimes, and my own story series, Dinosaur Dell,

which I am currently adapting into audiobooks.

​

​

Teacher

​

I love exchanging knowledge, and helping people to understand and enjoy things they’d never imagined they could.

I never tire of seeing people grow in confidence, or finding their voices.

​

As a freelance tutor, I’ve taught individual pupils English literature and language,

and have also tutored German and French language, and Latin.

​

I’m an experienced drama workshop designer and leader, developing workshops for  Stage-ed, on UK set texts

including The Crucible, Romeo and Juliet,  An Inspector Calls, and A Christmas Carol,

as well as Shakespeare’s language,  and folktale storytelling for all ages.

I have also regularly taught drama and written bespoke scripts for Pirrie Performing Arts in Perth, Scotland. 

​

"Alex is a fantastic facilitator and teacher.

His depth and breadth of knowledge is absurd and he imparts his knowledge in a calm but enthusiastic manner.

An excellent leader in the room, I would highly recommend him."

Ant Stones, Head of Education, Guildford Shakespeare Company

​

"When he's available, we always ask Alex to deliver our workshops.

His delivery is world-class, as is his planning and workshop creation.

His biggest testament is the feedback from teachers; the only criticism is there is only one of him!"

Mike Southern, Director, Stage-ed: Workshops With West End Professionals
