Emily Benton, veteran actor and star of stage and screen, is back in the UK after a career that took her to Broadway and Hollywood. With her pedigree, she should be in Downton Abbey or the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, not auditioning for a role in a devised play that has only become available because another, more famous, actor has gone to join the theatre in the sky.
Why did fate bring her to this? Maybe there's a secret Emily's not revealing.
Almost Famous is a new one woman show about the lives we have lived, the lives we would have chosen to live, and the difference between the two.
