Dora BryanMonday 1 April 2002
There can be few performers who, at the age of nearly eighty, take on a lead role in a popular West End musical that requires the executing of a high kick as proficiently as she might have done in her twenties.

Dora Bryan plays Jeanette Burmeister, pianist for the rehearsals of Hot Metal, the group of out of work steel workers who decide to make a fast buck as strippers in The Full Monty.
Dora tells Jenni about her preparation for this part and about her long career in film, TV and theatre.
