Frank Dudley, veteran thespian, inveterate dreamer and would be national treasure, sits in his dressing room, about to go on stage for the premiére of his very first one-man show, Shakespeare and Me. He’s determined to revive his not-so-glittering career. But will this be his big break at last, or will he lose his way among his memories? Will his ambition to play Richard II be realised? Can he show Sir Ian McKellen that he’s not the only ageing thesp who can play Hamlet at 80. Or is this indeed Frank’s swan song?Frankly Speaking offers a poignant glimpse into Frank’s career, one littered with bit parts, a disastrous season in panto and an intimate knowledge of theatre digs throughout the land.
Writer and actor Mike Casey is making his seventh visit to Barnstaple.
