Warwick Davis' Big Night
A look behind the scenes as actor Warwick Davis puts his money on the line to set up the Reduced Height Theatre Company, producing classic plays cast entirely with short actors.
Actor Warwick Davis puts his money on the line to set up the Reduced Height Theatre Company, producing classic plays cast entirely with short actors. It's always been Warwick's dream to be taken seriously as a stage actor and to give other short actors opportunities outside panto and creature roles. But will the actors, many of whom are not professionally trained, be up to the task of learning lines and performing in the demanding play See How They Run? As Warwick and the company rehearse for their big night and his wife Sam undergoes major spinal surgery, we learn about the challenges of theatrical production, and the physical and psychological pressures of being a person of short stature in an average height world.
