OFFIE nomination for Fanos Xenofós!

Fanos gets nominated in this years OFFIE’s for best actor in a supporting role for his performance as the immigration officer John Mackenzie in Can’t See For Looking, an important play exposing todays’ modern slavery. Based on five in-depth interviews with modern slavery victims rescued from domestic servitude, this shocking, fast-moving play highlights the prevalence of hidden slavery in Britain today and how many of us turn away, because of what it might cost us to confront a neighbour, friend or employer. The show opened at The Old Fire Station in Oxford on 28th September and then transferred to The Cockpit on 18th October – Anti-Slavery Day.

Fanos Xenofos gives a brilliantly subtle and sympathetic performance as John…. His character could’ve easily come off as wooden or one-note, but instead summons all the weary confliction of a man trapped in bureaucratic hell, trying to do what’s rightdailyinfo.co.uk

Fanos Xenofós tours the UK with The Beekeeper of Aleppo

Adapted for the stage by Nesrin Alrefaai and Matthew Spangler, from the International No.1 Bestseller by Christy Lefteri. The production has been decribed as “essential viewing” by Broadway World.

“…there is a well-observed vignette of the desperate to be helpful, English volunteer Neil. Played exquisitely by Fanos Xenofos, he is helplessly apologetic that he and his clipboard cannot be of more service.”
