Unprofessional

Frequent Fliers Productions • Student/Youth company

50 minutes•Upper Theatre (Thrust)
Guy is a jobbing actor whose blind enthusiasm, sub-par ability and unhealthy obsession with Matt Damon leaves him in a rut. He can’t seem to exist anywhere except on his couch, in the pub or on the set of low-budget adverts. Can Guy survive in an industry which seems to be conspiring against him? More importantly, can the company of Unprofessional make it through opening night? Inspired in equal parts by Tim Crouch and The Play That Goes Wrong, this new ‘laugh-out-loud meta-comedy’ (DailyInfo.co.uk) by Oisín Byrne takes aim at self-serious actors, expectant audiences and everyone in between.
