Synopsis
Six actors are on a movie set waiting for their call. Until then, they are in limbo, needing the director to bring them to life. He does this merely by using the one magic word - "Action!". Based on Steven's experiences shooting more than 50 movies.

24 May 2012
Six actors are holed up in a remote hotel, waiting for an exasperating director to call them before the cameras. Bit-part players sidelined in favour of the film’s anonymous ‘star’, they whine and they bicker, question their lives and their profession and what could possibly motivate them to continue to work in an industry where you’re “paid to wait” but “act for free”.
Steven Berkoff has returned to the same stylised world he last visited in Dahling You Were Marvellous, but here the laughs are thin on the ground and the satire entirely insipid. Berkoff has decades of experience in the film industry, but you wouldn’t know it from watching 6 Actors.
Stocked with well-worn anecdotes and riven with bland observations and clichés, it lacks humour, insight and originality. The characters are thin and underdeveloped, spouting platitudes at every turn, and the observational humour is cringe-wort...

NC - 20 June 2012:
Six actors in search of a director...more like six actors in search of a direction (to the job centre!) This "performance" was absolutely cringe-worthy from the slow and dragged out beginning to long awaited end. Bloody this, bloody that, effing this and effing that, a-hole, t***er, and even the C word mentioned continuously throughout. (I've heard only the uneducated use swearing for conversation as they can think of nothing better to say...is this true Berkoff??!) Fortunately (or unfortunately) I obtained free tickets- this play is not worth paying for at any cost. And no Interval??...good job for the cast as few would return. Not recommended for it's appauling story line, acting and unecessarily obscene language. Stick with Silk, Neil Stuke!...
