Nesbitt’s big debut in McCafferty play

By Grainne McLoughlin

Northern Irish actor James Nesbitt has made his West End stage debut in Owen McCafferty’s Shoot The Crow.

The Cold Feet star plays the part of a tiler from Belfast and stars alongside a brilliant cast including Jim Norton and Conleth Hill.

Nesbitt said: “It’s a small cast and we’ve had a brilliant few weeks.

“It’s been very exciting for me and different from filming because you form relationships. It’s been great working with Conleth as well who I’ve not worked with since we appeared in the Ulster Youth Theatre together. It’s been fantastic.”
