Most recently Steven has done some voice recording for a computer game called Dream Cycle, though this may be a working title as the project is still in development.
Last year Steven recorded Joe Abercrombie’s The Trouble with Peace in recent months and is currently working on the latest book in the series this coming August.
He took part in a live Zoom interview with Joe Abercrombie in September 2020.
Steven has also recorded a short story for Tim Miller for his Love, Death and Robots series and then was given another one to do a couple of weeks later which he says was great fun.
Also in September he travelled to the Midlands (UK) this week for a scene in a film called Benediction in which he plays an army doctor- all of course strictly Covid compliant.
Steven will be appearing at the Grange Festival in My Fair Lady and is playing the role of Henry Higgins.
This short run of only 3 performances on 8th, 16th and 18th July 2021 will then transfer to Barcelona in Spain for a further 2 performances.
My Fair Lady – Grange Festival
Based on George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, My Fair Lady is that rare musical by which all others are measured. The tale of a cockney flower girl transformed into an elegant lady features one of musical theatre’s greatest scores, including: “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?”, “With a Little Bit of Luck”, “The Rain in Spain”, “I Could Have Danced All Night”, “On the Street Where You Live”, “Get Me to the Church on Time” and “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face”.
Eliza Doolittle is a young flower seller with an unmistakable Cockney accent which keeps her in the lower rungs of Edwardian society. When Professor Henry Higgins tries to teach her how to speak like a proper lady, an unlikely friendship begins to flourish.

Steven Pacey was a signing guest at the recent London Film Fair, hosted by Showmasters Events.
He was due to appear alongside Sally Knyvette, but unfortunately Sally was unable to attend.
Steven happily signed autographs and took part in a photo shoot.
Steven has read the audio novel of Terminus, classic adventure for the Fifth Doctor, played by Peter Davison and novelised by Stephen Gallagher (writing as John Lydecker).
When the TARDIS console is wilfully sabotaged, the Doctor’s time machine becomes dimensionally unstable. As the internal fabric begins to dissolve, Nyssa is drawn into a junction with a strangely deserted spacecraft. The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough follow in pursuit, and discover the shocking purpose of Terminus. Whilst the Doctor encounters two space pirates, Tegan and Turlough become enmeshed in the spaceship’s infrastructure. Nyssa, meanwhile, learns that the nature of her sudden illness will have life changing consequences.
The title will be available from 1st August from Amazon but is available now to pre-order.
Steven has recently completed a tour with Christopher Luscombe’s production of The Nightingales, written by William Gaminara. He play the role of choirmaster Steven!
Joining Steven on stage were Ruth Jones, Mary Stockley, Stefan Adegbola, Sarah Earnshaw and Philip McGinley.
The play opened in Bath at the Theatre Royal on 31st October and toured to : Cambridge Arts Theatre, New Theatre Cardiff, Chichester Festival Theatre and Malvern Festival Theatre.
“Under the watchful eye of Steven, their choirmaster, Connie, Ben, Diane and Bruno gather every week in the village hall to practise their accomplished acapella singing. They are a motley crew, but whatever their differences, whatever the problems they may have at home, all are happily bound together in their shared love of music. Until one day Maggie knocks on the door. . . Soon she is urging them to enter Talentfest, a potentially life-changing route to Britain’s Got Talent. In the weeks that follow, loyalties will be tested, tempers will fray and lives will indeed be changed – but not in the way that any of them had quite anticipated.” – quote Cambridge Arts Theatre
