Theatre
Samuel’s first love will always be theatre. His credits have stretched from classical through to sharply contemporary work including Pip in Declan Donnellan’s Great Expectations at The Royal Shakespeare Company, Hamlet at The Old Vic, Taming of the Shrew and John The Bastard in King John at Bristol Old Vic. At The National Theatre; Henry IV parts 1 and 2, His Dark Materials parts 1 and 2 and The Kitchen. He recreated Padraic in Martin Macdonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore. In 2012 Samuel made his Broadway debut in Cyrano de Bergerac.
The cast are all terrific, with Samuel Roukin outstanding as the baby-faced psychopath Padraic
Samuel Roukin is a confident, upright Pip whose complex character is fully developed as he comes to realise society's values aren't all they seem. Although Dickens portrays him as a flawed hero, we find sympathy in Roukin's character who doesn't whinge excessively despite being unhappy most of the time.
