A week in the life of The Borrowers' Ed MacArthur

Ed MacArthur's theatre credits include the UK tour of Arcadia, Swansong at the New Diorama Theatre and Murder for Two at the Watermill Theatre.

He returns to the Watermill Theatre this Christmas in The Borrowers, an adaptation of Mary Norton's novel by Theresa Heskins. He's playing Crampfurl and Spiller in the tale of tiny people who borrow stuff from human beings.
