24.01.2022 Our Saturday night couple (28 Nov) appearing in LOVE LETTERS are Anne Ryan and Dan Ryan! Book at https://gclt.com.au/love-letters/ DAN RYAN as ANDREW Dan first appeared at GCLT 29 years ago in a one act play where he met wife Anne. This is the third time he has appeared on a stage in the past 40 years (after 2010’s HIGH SOCIETY) and all three were with his wife Anne. Along with Anne, and his two daughters Arlie and Elizabeth, he completes the family tradition of appearing in ...plays and musicals directed by Julanne Shearer. Dan spent 29 years as a Barrister, and after retiring more than 10 years ago, manages to spend more time now as an in-demand photographer with a sizeable collection of cameras.
