"Without a doubt I would have to say that the Grand Theatre Academy
gave me the self confidence and belief that is essential for every
actor when they are starting out...without this I most certainly
would not have been able to realise my ambition
of being a professional actor."

The Grand Theatre Youth Academy present true
British comedy with Billy Liar in the Studio from
February 21 to 24.
Billy Fisher, a working class nineteen year old, lives a dreary,
ordinary life, but escapes from it by living in a dream world. His lack
of attention causes inaccuracies in his work (the funeral directors of
Shadrack and Duxbury), leading him to lie. As his errors and lies start
to pile up he feels he has to get away...Billy has a difficult decision
to make.
Performed by the senior members of the Grand’s very own youth theatre
(aged 15 to 19), this is the famous play written by Willis Hall and
Keith Waterhouse in 1963 that starred Albert Finney and was later made
into a hit film starring Tom Courtenay and Julie Christie.
Tickets for Billy Liar at the Lawrence House Studio from
Wednesday 21 to Saturday 24 February at 8pm are
priced at £6 and are on sale now from the Grand Theatre Box
Office.
