Join actor, author and actor-trainer Bella Merlin for an enlightening, empowering discussion about stage fright: why it occurs, how it manifests itself, and how to overcome it. An unmissable event for any actor: those who are experiencing or have previously suffered from stage fright, as well as for those who want to be fully prepared in case that day ever comes. Plus, you’ll have the chance to ask Bella questions yourself in an audience Q&A.

In her new book Facing the Fear: An Actors' Guide to Overcoming Stage Fright – the first book of its kind written specifically for actors – Bella Merlin draws on her own and other actors’ personal experiences to provide all the tools you need to understand, confront and ultimately overcome stage fright and its effects, thereby regaining control over your life and career.

This event will be followed by a booksigning.

A Samuel French event at New Diorama Theatre, London, on Monday 6 June, 7-8.30pm. Tickets £5.
