When Alex Kingston, who plays Prospero, wanted to celebrate a colleague's birthday, she turned to rubbish rather than retailers.
"Whilst working on the production of The Tempest and continuing the exploration of how sustainable we can be within that framework, I decided to extend that exploration and make a birthday card for Jamie Ballard, who plays Antonio.
As it was December, I made it using elements from a packet of mince pies, some foil from the top of a bottle of celebratory Prosecco (I got the job!) and random bits of coloured paper from bags and wrapping. The only extra element added was glue.
Fun, cost-saving, creative and made with love and care. Happy Birthday Jamie!"
