If you thought the UK premiere of Enda Walsh's one-man play Misterman would drown in the National's cavernous Lyttelton Theatre, you'd be wrong. Clearly aware of the space he has to fill, Cillian Murphy has already inhabited every nook of the divided stage and thrown oil drums into the crannies he's missed before the first five minutes are up.
I am coached by my father Malcolm and my brother David and am funded and supported by England squash, Sport England and operate under the umbrella of the English Institute of Sport, which is currently providing support for many of Great Britain's Olympic athletes.
