“Fairytale of Sorts appealed because the storyline, it’s just so funny,” McGuire said.
“Most people play more than one part, adding to the fun, and there is a great level of creative freedom for the actors.
“Archibald is the main character I play and he is somewhat above the state of peasant, in that he can read and is the manservant to the young and flighty Prince Ryland, who he tries to keep in order.
“The main challenge for me is developing a sort of peasant London accent, which isn’t easy with my natural Irish lilt.”
Fairytale of Sorts plays at 8pm June 28, 29, 30, July 4, 5, 6 and 7 with a 2pm matinee July 1.
Tickets are $21 and $18 concession.
