Jonathan Slinger - Actor.

Born Accrington 1972.

Jonathan Slinger

The RSC should celebrate its new star

When an actor explodes into stardom the way Jonathan Slinger has, it seems churlish not to allow his audience to thank him properly.

Jonathan Slinger, one of the new stars of the RSC, has just added Richard II to his acclaimed performance as Richard III. Terry Grimley went to meet him.

Probably still best known to the outside world as the only town with a football club named Stanley, Accrington now has another claim to distinction.

It's the birthplace of Jonathan Slinger, a rising star in the Royal Shakespeare Company who is proving a key performer in Michael Boyd's epic staging of the complete history plays. After giving us a mesmerising Richard III earlier this year he has gone back four reigns (but forward in the chronology of Shakespeare's plays) to play his very different namesake, Richard II.
