‘Dahling You Were Marvellous’ marks the inaugural production of ‘Actual Acting’, a new acting initiative established by Actual Size Theatre Company based in Wakefield. Led by actor and lecturer Thomas Windle, ‘Actual acting’ aims to provide continual professional development for aspiring actors in the Wakefield area beyond the provision of youth theatre and formal training.

This thoughtful comedy by Steven Berkoff explores the superficial and hypocritical nature of the dazzling thespian world, while also pointing out the vulnerability and good-naturedness that lies beneath it all. Three actors, a director, and a producer are dining at a trendy London restaurant. In the glamour of it all, they complement, flatter, and boast – while privately criticising and drowning in self-doubt.
