At the start of the year Alex joined Green Curtain Theatre company for a festival of plays celebrating Irish contributions to Britain. "What's The Story?" by Maureen Alcorn centred around two Irish nurses stationed at a TB hospital in Lewisham who, in a heroic true story, saved the lives of 17 patients after the hospital was struck with a bomb. Alex played Bert, a journalist who was unable to follow his brother to the war due to his polio, which he had contracted as a child.
