About this show
Roo Sutcliffe has studied all her life to become an actor. She attended prestigious drama schools and was taught by renowned practitioners. Her conclusion? Actors are indeed wankers. In this passionate display, Roo expresses her disdain for theatre through the distinctive medium of theatre. Ridiculing absurdities of the industry, from name-dropping directors to the unbearable agents she's absolutely hoping are in the audience tonight. It's time the industry (that she very much wants to be in) gets called out for what it is. And Roo will, of course, call it out using her diaphragm.

Roo Sutcliffe is funny. Properly funny. Her gags are clever, and her physicality is equally remarkable... She has a great future ahead of her.
