SUMMARY:The Actress
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe Actress by Peter Quilter\n\n\n“The last show is alway
 s a very strange affair. It’s like a party\, a great buzz of excitement.
  But then each actor will leave\, with laughter still ringing in the air a
 nd a cheery wave. Then it stops. And as you watch each of them walk down t
 he street\, they look terribly lonely. That’s the thing about it\, you s
 ee. After all the applause and elation\, we walk home alone. And that’s 
 who actors are—the happiest\, saddest people you’ll ever meet.”\n\nT
 he Actress dramatizes the events backstage as a colourful\, complicated ac
 tress makes her emotional farewell performance.\nVarious people from Lydia
 ’s life invade her dressing room to say their goodbyes\, declare their l
 ove\, roar with laughter\, spit insults\, grab a final embrace and renew o
 ld battles.\nWe meet the Company Manager\, Lydia’s agent\, her daughter\
 , her ex-husband\, her Dresser and her Elderly Fiance/sugar daddy!! And\, 
 of course Lydia herself.\nThe action takes place on the night of Lydia’s
  farewell performance of “The Cherry Orchard”. She is now preparing fo
 r a quiet life in Switzerland with Charles. It is a Comedy but there are s
 ome beautiful poignant scenes as we meet each of Lydia’s contacts across
  the years of a very successful Theatrical career.\nWill she really retire
