Unscripted
The entertainment industry is notoriously precarious, fiercely competitive, unpredictable and insecure. Yet year after year, the lure of theatre proves powerful enough to see performers and creatives make enormous financial and personal sacrifices to continue to step in to the harshest of spotlights. Successive generations of young people gravitate towards the profession despite its ever increasing competitiveness and cut throat nature. ‘Unscripted' is a look at the faces of those for whom working in theatre is not just a career. It is a way of life, a passion, a calling beyond a job - uncertainty the gamble for the validation of the applause.
