Absolutely fascinating and brilliantly made.

This May, Clive Mantle is appearing in a play at the theatre I work at . ( What do you mean "Who's he ?" ?? )

Happy?

[@drrd4127]

Why do all these actors look depressed?! They don't look like they are enjoying their work. I think their might be a lot of pressure not to screw up.

bro its nerves, pretty sure this is the poremiere, for like any production no matter the size their is always stage fright.

Bit voyeuristic, spying on each other's dressing rooms !
