AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'There is madness in Stanley Gold's method acting. Obsessed with snaffling the plum role of Hamlet, Stanley's sanity unspools and he is committed. This actor is well and truly 'crack'd' but is psychiatry the panacea which can join together the broken pieces of his mind? Highly charged sexuality, emotion and comedy are ever present but is heartbreak looming in the background? A show that confronts hilariousy the psychological perils inherent in artistic pursuit, where disappointment can severely outweigh expectation. Bill Marshall's genial writing makes for a comic tragedy worthy of Milligan.'
