Last but not least, we would like to celebrate a very special cast member. Fejka Ikea, a constant reassuring presence in the Love Doctor's consulting room, has a role at once tangential and pivotal in The Morning After. A school visit from her native Sweden to see As You Like It at Stratford-upon-Avon confirmed the young Fejka’s ambition to join those giants of the English stage, the mighty trees in the Forest of Arden. She is still determined to grow into a Shakespearean woodland role while grateful that her Meisner Technique training has given her the emotional depth to perform as a weeping fig. She won an Offie for Best Supporting Shrub in a Stage Play in a fringe production of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard and will soon be seen in a BBC2 adaptation of Gulliver’s Travels in which she plays an elm tree. Fejka has added a sense of groundedness and new growth to the Monorogue company for which we are profoundly grateful.
