Description: An actor speaks on the phone to his agents, his parents, and his fellow thespians, battling with rejection, expectation, disappointment and self-pity. A short monologue which delves into the heart of the acting industry, 'Actor' humorously and poignantly portrays the trying life of being a struggling artist. It premiered at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in January 1984.
