Lost inside a recurring nightmare, a reluctant actor returns to the stage. Trying to conquer eight years of stage fright, and inside a dream-world inhabited by phantoms of disapproving ancestors, he replays his own autobiography and starts to lose the plot. OFFIE award winners and 'Beckett’s hip, pop-culture savvy descendants' (Time Out) Action Hero are back with an absurdist nightmare of a show about masking, performing and "acting the part". This is a chance to see a brand new piece of work from a legendary Fringe company as a part of Shedinburgh.
