Andy King - Horse
Andy's time at Oxford has seen him perform in roles as diverse as Harpo Marx in Animal Crackers – which transferred profitably to the Edinburgh Fringe 2002 – and 'B' in Sarah Kane's Crave (which went on to win several awards at the National Student Drama Festival 2002). He's also been a winner of the New Writing Festival with Rob Phoned (2001) as well as writing the script for the Oxford Gargoyles’ a capella musical Inflatable Bliss (2002).

He's just returned from a year in the Czech Republic, as part of his degree in English Literature and Czech with Slovak. Andy is a member of the NYT.
Colin Burnie - Sava
Colin Burnie made his stage debut as a daffodil at the age of four, an experience which gave him an appetite for acting and led him to train (much later) at the New College of Speech and Drama in Hampstead. After several years teaching Drama and English in London, Milan and finally Oxford, he turned into a tax inspector. However, he has satisfied his love of acting by appearing regularly on the stage. In the past twelve months he has played Colonel Redfern in Look Back in Anger, Satan in The Mysteries, Neils Bohr in Copenhagen (all at the Old Fire Station), The Player in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (Oxford Playhouse), and Malvolio in Twelfth Night at the open-air theatre, Pangbourne.
