Young Jamaican actor Sule Kamu Thelwell is among the cohort of 17 students accepted to The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London for the upcoming academic year.
On completing his five-year tenure at Glenmuir in 2018, he was ready to embark on studies in architecture, but then he enrolled in a drama camp held in Clarendon by his current theatre company, Quilt.
Thelwell registered for sixth form at deCarteret and used that two-year period to gain experience as an actor in theatre, film, and television.
Even with classes 12 hours per day for six days, Thelwell is ready to take on that feat at The Royal Central School, which he refers to as the “Harvard of drama schools”.
“This is a very competitive industry, and what it means to me is that I’ve been given an actual fighting chance at getting what it is that I want out of this life,” said Thelwell.
