BWW caught up with Uğyr Özcan about bringing The Sun King to the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. How did you first get involved in the world of theatre?. I had always been interested in theatre, and I think seeing some really good children’s plays as a kid was a big part of that. I did some acting in school, but I think what really drove me to put on my own play was the range of talent and support in Oxford. In my second year, I was involved in quite a few productions, including original plays my friends wrote. What I enjoyed about these was bringing a creative vision to life as a team, and I think I just couldn’t help but do more and more of it!

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
