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, starring Jac Wheeble about the lives we have lived, the lives we would have chosen to live, and the difference between the two.
Almost Famous premiered at Brighton Fringe in May 2025.
'Jac Wheble showcased a wealth of experience in her performance. The feeling of being so near and yet so far created a balance between tension and unique, insightful humour.' ★★★★ Theatre in Brighton.
Emily’s stories are elaborate and lovely until suddenly we are invited into hear about her life more intimately and then everything changes. Very funny and thought provoking, and well recommended.' Broadway Baby
