Rebecca Hulbert was born and brought up in Cornwall. She trained at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in acting and has worked in theatre, film, television and radio. She has worked with a variety of theatre companies in Britain as well as Teatro Modus Vivendi in Italy, touring the play Bloody Poetry by Howard Brenton. In Cornwall she worked with Miracle Theatre and Cube Theatre. She recently toured with Cube in After the Accident, a play that explored the issues around restorative justice, and won the Amnesty International ‘Protect the Human’ play-writing competition in 2008. She is also a music worker for the charity WILD Young Parents Project.
Wesley Griffith was born and bred in St Ives in Cornwall and studied acting at the Guildford School of Acting. Along with stage performances and a few pieces of film he also records plays and poems. He is inspired by the work of playwright Harold Pinter whilst his favourite role to date has been Frank Gibbons in a not very well known Noel Coward play – This Happy Breed, in which the character ages twenty years over the course of the action. His role in National Minority poses an exciting new challenge for him.

He was part of Miracle Theatre for a year and a half and worked on several productions, including Cat’s Cradle and Tartuffe.
