An Actor on Acting
In an entertaining evening, full of zest and humour, legendary actor, John Cairney, explores what actors have been doing off and on stage as they go about their business of pretending to be someone else in public for money. As someone who’s spent his professional lifetime acting, he lifts the mask he wears, looks backstage and invites the audience right into the rehearsal room. He offers a wealth of hilarious theatre anecdotes, true and almost true, which add even more colour to the motley of the professional journeyman actor. He puts the spotlight on the mystery behind the mystique, the sweat beneath the greasepaint and the excitement to be found in the second oldest trade in the world.
