Peter Polycarpou

London - 10/2001 - 05/2002 - Bustopher Jones / Gus / Growltiger (injured before the end of the run, covered by Gareth Snook)

Official London Theatre.com Interview - October 2008"The last time Peter Polycarpou worked at the New London theatre, it ended in “one of the most awful experiences of my life”. He broke his leg during a performance of Cats in 2003(? 2001 or 2002?) and as a result was unable to work for six months. “I did it on stage and it was the worst pain,” he shakes his head at the memory. Apparently, he says, there is a theatrical superstition that if you fall over in a theatre you will go back to work there, so it seems fated that Polycarpou should be about to tread those same boards in new musical 'Imagine This'."
