'O Nature, thou art wonderful, thou shinest with eternal radiance!'- Actor, Keith Robinson

Summary: Keith Robinson is one of our finest actors. His repertoire of characters include the great clowns of Shakespeare. He has been admired for his tremendous physicality in realising these endearing fools and jesters, and for his dependability to tell a good story. As a member of the ensemble at Belvoir Theatre, he has contributed to the success of milestone productions that include Hamlet, The Tempest, The Alchemist, Night On Bald Mountain and Picasso at the Lapin Agile. Extensive theatre credits also include the epic Nicholas Nickleby with the Sydney Theatre Company and ventures into musical theatre with the premiere Australian production of Les Miserables. Another terrific accomplishment saw Keith co-write (with Tony Taylor) the silly, comic romp The Popular Mechanicals - a fond valentine to the determined amateur acting troupe of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. In 2006 his life upon the boards looked like being snatched away when he was diagnosed with a neurological condition, called Guillain-Barre syndrome. His personal expression as an actor became compromised with limited mobility and the necessity of a wheelchair. Keith is a determined thespian and in 2016 he returned to the Belvoir stage as Feste in a production of Twelfth Night. TV gigs have followed too. Next week he is once again on the Belvoir stage as Leonid Gayev in The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov. Keith is immensely entertaining and terrific company. He is passionate, funny and tremendously insightful in describing an eventful life on and off the stage. The STAGES podcast is available from Apple podcasts, Spotify and Whooshkaa.
