50 minutesTheatre 2
Emily Benton, veteran actor and star of stage and screen, is back in the UK after a career that took her to Broadway and Hollywood. With her pedigree, she should be in Downton Abbey or the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, not auditioning for a role in a devised play that only become available when another, more famous, actor went to join the theatre in the sky. What cruel fate brought her here? Maybe there’s a secret she’s not revealing. From the makers of Make-up: 'A disarmingly truthful and humorous piece, adroitly constructed and beautifully performed' *s]*s]*s]* (AllEdinburghTheatre.com).
