The Good Actor explores acting, performing, being real, telling the truth, pretending and lying. The project has been developed at the National Theatre Studio and Central School of Speech & Drama across different media.
Lightwork shot a series of micro-videos (each around 3 minutes) for online distribution, taking an improvisation-based approach, shooting over a week in July 2010 and largely on location. Made as ‘rough films’ the videos are part of the project’s larger development.
