Sandy Grierson - Biography
Sandy Grierson is a Scottish actor, known for Night People (2005), Victoria & Abdul (2017) and Outlander (2014).
Anyone who has seen Sandy Grierson as Faustus must acknowledge the amazing energy of his performance. Sandy never leaves the stage during this production, which runs without an interval. He is at the centre of a company that often communicates as much, if not more, through images rather than words.
Sandy’s strongly physical style of acting emerges from his early acquaintance with a wide Eastern European tradition he met at the Edinburgh Fringe. His school experience of Macbeth was reading the play around the class, supplemented by BBC video extracts. Unexciting. But seeing a Belarus company perform the play in their own language was riveting, he says.
In 2011 Sandy played Puck in a non-traditional A Midsummer Night’s Dream for Rupert Gould’s Headlong Company, a role he says he first played as a child. When he came to the RSC in 2012 for the ‘What Country Friends Is This?’ season he played Ariel in The Tempest, understudied Feste in Twelfth Night, performing the role in the public run, and played Solinus in A Comedy of Errors with a darker political twist than usual.
