As you may know, I have over the past couple of years taken a sabbatical of sorts from acting. This March, I am returning to the theatre in The Oakville Players’ production of Wife After Death. It’s a British play by the well-known UK writer Eric Chappell.
Comedian and national treasure Dave Thursby has died, and on the day of his funeral, friends and colleagues gather beside his coffin to pay their last respects. But an unfamiliar woman is about to arrive, bringing with her a series of revelations about Dave’s dubious past…
It’s a great modern play in the classic drawing room tradition, in which I have a relatively small but significant and funny part. And it has British accents – who can resist a British accent?
