What Are You Afraid Of?

by Peter Hanly

“Who are you, when you’re not an actor anymore? What are you then?”

Peter Hanly had enjoyed a successful stage and screen career for almost thirty years when, during a dress rehearsal for Friel’s Molly Sweeney in 2011, he suddenly experienced stage fright. The crisis was so profound that within a year he’d given up acting altogether. Until now.

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? is a funny, moving, and deeply human account of fear and vulnerability — on and off stage, which invites us to confront the anxieties that hold us all back, and ask ourselves: What Are You Afraid Of?
