About the Show

Hector Hanley wanted to be a world-famous classical actor. He didn’t want to be a panto dame. He didn’t want to fall in love with his irritatingly successful rival, Dicky. And he certainly didn’t want to finish up in an actor’s retirement home…Still fighting to be “great”, how can Hector evade the indignity of a looming dementia test? By steering carer Dan and cousin Matilda on wild goose chases through his tumultuous lifelong quest to be a celebrated star. He’s helped by his late lamented lover Dicky, who romps through his memories and starts to seem real once more.
