COUNT ON CONTI BEING SUCH A FUSSY DIRECTOR

TOM Conti both directs and stars in Bernard Slade's Romantic Comedy- a double demand he is tyaking in his stride.

"I have directed quite a lot," he says. "It is no great hardship. A lot of people get the wrong idea about directing, especially directors. Just telling people what to do is the wrong idea."

Romantic Comedy plays Guildford's Yvonne Arnaud Theatre from November 12-17. Tickets on 01483 440000.
