I, Lear

Two bumbling actors (Andrew Jones and Ciaran Murtagh) share their wisdom of the theatre, including tricks of the trade such as Marmite up the nostrils for upset and spray cream foaming at the mouth for anger. They teach us techniques from the likes of Stanislavski, Williams and Brecht culminating in their ultimate example of acting, Lear, combining all of the above styles with hilarious results. A lighthearted, fun piece of idiocy. (Greer Ogston)
