In this third episode of The Acting for Stage and Screen Podcast, James talks to the actor, writer and director Duncan Macinnes. They discuss Duncan's affection for his hometown of Hull and how this has lead him back recently to perform as Laurence Moss in an innovative new production of Mike Leigh's Abigail's Party, directed by Amanda Huxtable at Hull Truck Theatre. We talk about the importance Duncan places on choosing work which explores and encourages diversity such as his role in The Life and Death of Martin Luther King and we also hear about Duncan's latest project as a playwright; Dagger Lane, a genre bending new work exploring dementia and detective work! We chat about Duncan's creative approach as a writer and also his recent guest lead appearance in the BBC's Doctors and we consider some of the different approaches actors use in performing for both stage and screen.
