A Conversation with Cairney

 

The title tells you exactly what it is - a conversation between actor and audience. In reality it is a rehearsed structure of autobiography and anecdote with verse illustrations based on his experiences on stage and on film locations over the years.

John Cairney dips into his vast bran tub of personal and professional recollections and pulls out a story to fit. He uses many of his own verses from his All My Own Work programme such as What is a Woman?, If I Had My Life to Live Over, A Scotch Catalogue and Nostalgia for a Tenement.

As he says, 'This show has been a lifetime in rehearsal and I'll keep on doing it till I get it right.'
