Huge congratulations to Alec Newman, winner of the ‘Best Performance’ award in The EDGE Awards for his performance in ‘Still Wakes The Deep.’
‘The Chinese Room’s decision to subtitle conversations carried out in dialect with ‘standard’ English (if you choose) allows its whole cast to speak freely, their quick patter laced with various flavours of Scottish slang and wit. It’s Newman’s lead turn as oil-rig electrician Caz that sees him stand out among the crew, however, not least with his incredulous, often literally breathless, reactions to the unfolding chaos.’
