In roughly 10 minutes, a week from now, I shall be publically assuming my first theatrical role as René Artois (Gah! My first role is as a Frenchman! How can I survive the shame?) in the play version of 'Allo 'Allo!, based on the great comedy by David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd. Has anyone else acted or is an avid theatre-goer, and therefore has some advice to offer to an aspiring thespian?
