Dahling you were marvelous!
‘Dahling You Were Marvellous’ by Stephen Berkoff was the inaugural production of ‘Actual Acting’.
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.
The show was performed at Mechanics Theatre June 2024 and was greatly received.
