We are incredibly lucky to have Mark and Ed joining us this Sunday 23rd April. The film is currently Number 1 on Netflix, proving once again how successful the show continues to be world wide. This is a golden opportunity for us all to learn from the best there is. Whether you are an actor, director, fan of the show- there really is something for everyone to enjoy in this session. 

We will start by reviewing self-tapes from our last subscriber session so you can hear Mark and Ed's advice and feedback that you can use in your own work.  Ed is always looking for talent to cast in his next projects so this really is an invaluable opportunity.

The session will include an opportunity for you to ask Ed and Mark about anything - acting, directing, The Last Kingdom and more.  We invite you to send your questions in advance to info@theactorscommunity.org.
