3 unusual facts about An Act of Valour


An Act of Valour

The cast of An Act of Valour mainly consists of members of the Caravanserai Productions and Acting Studio, but also of experienced actors like Gerard Monaco, and most notably Marcus D'Amico, best known for his portrayal of Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver in the Channel 4 adaptation of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City.

Originally, Leppäjärvi and Corduner had approached D'Amico with the idea of him playing the drag-queen Bette Noir (a pun on French expression bête noire).

Director Allan Corduner had previously worked - as an actor - with both D'Amico and Monaco in the West End: with D'Amico in the play The Boys Next Door at the Comedy Theatre, and with Monaco in the revival of A View from the Bridge at the Duke of York's Theatre.
