Cast
Robin Egan
as Michael
obin Egan is back on the theatre scene to the sound of bated breath from his countable fans.
A familiar face from many Brisbane Arts Theatre children's productions, Robin has appeared in roles ranging from Robin Hood and Mr Tumnus to Tigger. Venturing into the world of adult theatre has done little to halt his accumulation of noble titles, with his recent portrayal of Prince Humperdinck in The Princess Bride bringing his current tally to two princes and one lord. This resemblance, however, he finds uncanny.
