"Itsfireally different from anything I've ever done... I usually end up platying the bad gu for somne reason,, witb roles like D dla. realleil characters. 8Tî one (Claude) -- he's net evil beé's net ail good -- be's an average, everydayy trying te dfo somethingha believes in... 'The Real W-rd,' written by Michel Trem-, blaýy, interweaves soenes from Clauüde's life" with scenes from a play he's written about his family. Te play opens -with Claude visiting his inother for the first time after 'she's read bis play. But there's a twist, says Kidd.- "As bis mother, father and sister react te what he's written, the play that he bas written. goes on at the same time. "TheReai World' essentiaily deals withý différent views cf reality, says Kidd. 7- both Claude's perceptions of his famnily experiences L and bis fatniily's side cf the story. "ltes left up te the audience as te whatVs really happened, because we give both sides cf it -- the audience is left te decide, what's real and what isn't." The actors have te work bard te make the play work. p-ays Kidd. "It's their rxesponsibility te try7 and prove that their version is the real -tling, so you've got two' mothers, both tr-<ng te. show their version, two fathers, two .0isters and *then Claude, and be's sort cf going bacicand forth betwee n tbem," says1Kidd. ClaÜde'haste make',both « tbe play that Irve written anqd the play that's actually going.on, believeable.» Platying Claude, is fun but cballenging, says Kidd. "A lot of, the time Fm: on, stage, rm net actually talking te ýthe, characters, . rm just watching... youîre net'usingou voice tosh 8ow your reactions and em etin -you've got te use yourface.»,' Claude is, quite cemplex -- tberes net one major emotion. coming ýthrough at aygvn te -you've got te lay ".sure cf yourself but tbere's a-little deubt there toc; or youïre really doubtful but tbere's stili a bit o0f pride... in each character. there's sort cf a double role.» Other cast merpbers, are Wendy Barney, Mnne Bradfield,, Bradý Carson, Paul Kit, *Susan Lowery, Joe Szekeres and SharonWalmsiey.
