Next Time Ned

BACK TO LIST

 


Brief synopsis:

 

Next Time Ned

For almost thirty years Ned Randall has been trying to make it as an actor. Now in his forties his biggest claim to fame is playing a corpse in Taggart. Always believing that his big break is just around the corner he is affectionately referred to as Next Time Ned by his friends, family and the local community. However 'lady luck' may be on Ned's side as a documentary crew have decided to spend a week in his life in order to discover what drives his pursuit of a career in an industry that's doors seem forever closed to him. Over the course of the week we follow Ned to several amusing but disastrous auditions, witness his first attempt at stand up comedy, follow his attempt to find a theatre willing to produce his one man show of Reservoir Dogs: The Musical. We also join him as he attempts to reconcile his relationship with his son and deal with his ill mother. Often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking but always entertaining Next Time Ned is a story about a man refusing to give up on his dream.
