We chat about Michaels career from the early days selling insurance. He reluctantly went into 'Tops of the Town'. Even more reluctantly he ended up in 'The Hired Man' and several other local productions.

We talk about 'The Gods are Angry Mrs. Kerr' by Jim Nolan and why this is so important to Michael.

The big decision to give up his job and become a professional actor followed. Since then he has had a varied and rewarding career on stage and screen.

'Going Back' is booking now at theatreroyal.ie.

It is written by Michael Power and is directed by Liam Butler. Paula Weldon also appears in the production.
