BOTH a masterclass in the craft of acting and a savage cautionary tale about the perils of entering the theatrical profession, Steven Berkoff's tale returns to Brighton this month.
GRAFT - Tales of an Actor is performed by George Dillon, who won an award for his adaptation and performance of Steven Berkoff's short story collection, previewed in Brighton in 2000.
Returning to Brighton's Pavilion Theatre on November 25 and 26, GRAFT tells the life story of Harry, a good actor and a dedicated artist, who is often out of work, rejected and desperate to practise his craft.
From his first audition to enter drama school to his final curtain at Leicester Square, GRAFT unflinchingly exposes the reality and questions the sacrifice.
Brighton-based actor George Dillon first worked with Steven Berkoff in
1986 and has since worked with him as an actor and assistant director four times and produced eight productions of Berkoff's writing with his own companies.
George formed Vital Theatre in 1990 and has created and extensively toured six highly-acclaimed solo shows. His new one-man play, The Man Who Was Hamlet, opens at Brighton's New Venture Theatre on December 2.
