Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age

theatre

What exactly is acting your age?  And who decides?  These are the questions Alan Cumming has been grappling with for a very long time.

Cumming, at fifty-eight, is enjoying himself.  "I feel I’m still at an age where I can dance till dawn but also be able to dole out some wisdom to my fellow revellers!  Wisdom is just being able to recognize the repeating patterns that emerge as you get older, and maybe deciding to react to them differently. It’s just the same show with different costumes."

In Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age, he covers all the bases: sex, death and bacchanalia, with a set list as eclectic as the man himself.  

Songs from Cabaret authors Kander and Ebb blend with contemporary favourites and even a self-penned paean against plastic surgery.  "I am literally the only person on American TV who has not had botox!" he quips.  

He also discusses the effects of gravity, the time the mum from the Brady Bunch punched him, and what his dog taught him about the quality of life.
