Chris Sawalha is from the West Midlands area known as the Black Country – the land of great beer, coal and Heavy Metal. In his spare time he enjoys playing and making music with friends as well as spending as much time in the country side as possible. Chris is a graduate of ALRA and has been acting for just over two years now. His previous jobs have included working at Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre, Stoke on Trent’s, The New Vic Theatre as well as two tours with the outdoor theatre company Illyria. Chris is well used to the rigors of touring and has spent a lot of time carrying bits of stage and scenery up into rainy welsh castles. Chris has been to Austria once before but like Bilbo cannot wait to see mountains again. Chris is now extremely excited to get to work with Vienna’s English Theatre
