BILL MOULFORD regularly appears with the Oxford Theatre Guild, Cakes & Ale Theatre Company and Tomahawk, as well as performing for a number of amateur and professional film, radio and theatre engagements. He has enjoyed the experience of recording audiobooks immensely, as it has given him a chance to work on a range of accents and voice types. Bill composed and played the music for Alice in Wonderland.

Jabberwocky
The poem appeared in Lewis Carroll’s other Alice book “Through the Looking Glass”. Many people consider it to be the finest nonsense verse in the English language, and several of the words in the poem that were invented by Lewis Carroll – such as “chortled” and “galumphing” - have entered the English language.

The Mouse, Eaglet, and Fish Footman
As a fully qualified space scientist, CHRIS DAVIS spends his day boldly going into the office. At his desk he acts as an interplanetary lighthouse keeper, issuing warnings to those cruising between the planets or sailing on the solar wind blissfully unaware of the approaching particle storms. He had rather hoped that this selfless lifestyle would endear him to others but has found it necessary to offset the anonymity of his day-job by showing off in his spare time. Joining the Old Gaol Theatre Company in 1997, Chris has performed many roles, most recently as Thomas in Christopher Fry's The Lady's not for Burning. Chris co-founded Oxford Impro in 2004.
