Former QUT boys set to reveal their poker faces
Ashley Lyons (pictured) has carved out a solid acting career since graduating from QUT with an acting degree ten years ago, and he's returning to an old haunt to play a rising poker star with a secret in Dealer's Choice.
Playing Gardens Theatre on 10 and 11 July, Dealer's Choice is a witty black comedy from the writer of hit films Notes on a Scandal and Closer, and it explores the father-son dynamic and male bravado, while revealing some not-so-secret men's business.
For Ashley, who returns to the theatre after stints on TV's All Saints and Home and Away, Dealer's Choice is undoubtedly 'the best thing he's ever worked on'.
Director Craig Ilott is also a QUT acting alumnus, having graduated 20 years ago.
