Ep 291 ”Actors are very frugal. I can live on very little”

On today’s show Kathy talks to theatre legends Ger Ryan and Marie Mullen about their play at the Gate Theatre, The Children, directed by Oonagh Murphy. Written by Lucy Kirkwood and also starring Seán McGinley, the play is about three retired nuclear scientists staying at a crumbling cottage by the sea, as the world grapples with the aftermath of a catastrophe at a nuclear power station. Marie and Ger talk to Kathy about the production, about Waking the Feminists, about the reality of life as a jobbing actor.
