Скачать или смотреть The Understudy: Short Film (Official Trailer) | STRATFEST@HOME

The Understudy is a peek-behind-the-curtain story of the theatre world. An understudy actor is called upon last-minute to replace the star of a major stage production of Shakespeare's The Tempest. He is also looking after his young granddaughter, and has no choice but to bring her to the theatre. This could be a late-life career break but he only has a few hours to get ready, the stage manager is stressed, and his granddaughter has gone missing backstage.

Filmed at the Festival’s Warehouse and Avon Theatre, our short film features Tom Rooney as Tom, Maria Vacratsis as Stage Manager, André Sills as Actor, Scott Wentworth as Star, Jennifer Villaverde as Wardrobe Attendant, Mike Nadajewski as Wig Attendant and introduces 10-year-old Mia SwamiNathan as Illy. Appearances made by Tim Campbell, Jamillah Ross, Tyrone Savage, Shannon Taylor and Mateo G. Torres.

Written and directed by Peter Pasyk, The Understudy is produced by Genna Megaw and Paolo Mancini with production design by Debra Hanson.
