Sebastian Louis KINDER plays Nicholas DUKE, an American plantation owner, his part is especially difficult becausee Mr DUKE is pro-slavery and therefore by proxy a racist though in the 18th century his attitude would not be seen as being racist. Seb is one of the youngest members of the cast at 17, however he has a lot of experience and for this we are greatful. He's more than likely going to go full time drama school and I think he will go far. |
