When Douglas Child applied to join the infamous Circus of Horrors he thought he had little chance in landing his dream job and was astounded when that dream was about to become a reality.
Doug (36) saw an advert looking for a someone to play Nosferatu – The Camp Dracula in the new Circus of Horrors spectacular for its West End debut and then on its provincial tour.
Doug said: “I was busy working in a call centre for First Assist and saw the ad in the Stage and before I knew it I was performing with The Circus of Horrors in a packed theatre in London’s West End.”
Doug went to Porchester School and had previously played the Mad Hatter in the Adventure Wonderland. “I have always been a fan of Horror and Nosferatu was my hero, I studied his every move so when I went for the audition I had it pretty well nailed, nevertheless I was still shocked to be given the job,” said Doug.
