Tristan (character)

Tristan is a fictional character played by Tristan Baxter in the 2017 play, Paul Bishop is Directing a Play.

Tristan is an actor who has appeared in multiple productions, most notably at the Boardmore Playhouse and Savoy Theatre.

Tristan most often appears in plays written by Paul Bishop as a characterization of his late father.

Development and Casting
The character was created by Fritz and John Bury after Tristan agreed to join the production following the premiere of Damned when Fritz pitched the idea to the cast. Along with Breanna Penson, Tristan was one of the few cast members of Damned to appear in Paul Bishop is Directing a Play.

Much like Rachael, Tristan appears embittered by his working relationship with Paul Bishop, having previously portrayed Shaky in Bigsby.

Tristan portrays "Frank" in Paul Bishop's play, "Family Values", a characterization of Paul's late father which is purposefully similar to his role as "Malcolm" in Damned.

As part of the 2017 One Act Play Festival, the cast of Paul Bishop is Directing a Play were awarded "Best Ensemble Cast".

For his performance as both Tristan and Shaky in Bigsby, Tristan won the 2017 Tarsies award for "Best Supporting Actor".
