What has their journey been to arrive at that point, in full costume and make-up? And what motivates them to overcome their anxieties before stepping out in front of an audience?"I've always had this thing five minutes beforehand - I don't want to go on. It says start at 7.30... at 7.35 I'm hating everyone. I'm like, 'I don't want to do this. I don't have to be here. I've got other things to do'. It's five minutes of absolute fear."For some actors, Hollywood stardom beckons. But for many, success in the industry looks very different.Outside of coveted castings in illustrious Marvel series or Broadway productions, thousands of actors will apply their craft in village halls and local theatres, as well as commercial gigs such as role plays for professional training."When you've got a full house (at) the Royal Albert Hall clapping and cheering... you think 'this is incredible'. But again... I love doing the village halls. Some of my best memories of doing the village halls was the impact that you make on communities."In this revealing discussion ranging from things going wrong in front of a live audience, to the importance of tight teamwork with backstage colleagues, playwright and director Mary Swan hosts an entertaining and insightful exploration of the work/life realities for modern actors.Mary's guests for this episode areMary Rose, who has performed on Broadway alongside Kristin Scott Thomas in a Royal Court production of The Seagull, as well as an acclaimed one-woman show, 12.10.15 at the Edinburgh Festival.Mary plays artist Catherine Shaw in Proteus Theatre's stage production, Indestructible.Paul Huntley-Thomas appears in the Disney+ Marvel mini-series Secret Invasion and the 2DF Studios feature Lost Women Spies.
