The above picture/link is taken from an autobiographical performance, i could be anyone; based on the life of Cambridge (UK) born Matthew Scurfield, actor, author, dyslexic, who along with Maltese actor and TV presenter Clare Agius bring to dramatic life a very personal and transformative story. i could be anyone, i could be anyone, i could be anyone...

 

Matthew was born into a prominent academic family in the 1950s Cambridge -- labelled a failure at school; he left at 15 to begin to find his way through the world of the no hopers, the beats and poets, lurking on the side-lines of elitist Cambridge. By discovering the power of drama in the vibrant, cutting edge theatre world of 70’s England, he found a way to channel his anger and frustration through a creative outlet. This, along with the discovery of yoga, he credits with being fundamental in saving him from the downward spiral of low self-esteem he had found himself on.

"Along with the silence, letters and emails of support, from those of you already familiar with the book, this newfound empathy with my mother prompted me to bring out a second edition. I guess this is like take two on a film set, or perhaps another night at the theatre, where one optimistically thinks, I have a second chance, another chance to bring the play of words up to the line."
