"From a rehearsal room in Sydney through to opening night in New York, a company of actors reveals the magic and struggle of creating theatre."10 June 2007Factual75 mins

It's not a place into which the public is often, if ever, invited. Until now; In The Company of Actors features an ensemble of Australia's finest actors, including Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving, as they prepare to perform the Sydney Theatre Company's production of Hedda Gabler, at the prestigious Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York.
