I BEING FllAllli is different lrom being Ernest, but there’s an importance about
getting it right. Alter all, the world is lull oi people who reckon Sinatra's their blue- eyed boy. One ol them is Alan Vicary, who wrote this tribute to the king of crooners, and originally played the part himselt. llow he’s handing over the vocal cords to Simon Sharkey, Cumbernauld Theatre’s artistic director, who’s obviously decided not to keep his actor/singer light under a bushel any longer. It's a daunting task, to be lrank, but one which should till the theatre with swinging lovers.
Being Frank is at Cumbernauld Theatre, Thurs 15-Sat 24 Aug.
