When David Wenham walked into rehearsals for A Christmas Carol in October, he felt the same way he did as a young actor preparing for his very first roles.
"First day of rehearsal, I'm [still] exactly the same. I'm extremely nervous because I don't know what's going to happen," he says.
The 57-year-old hasn't stepped onto a stage in almost a decade – since he played the guilt-ridden John Proctor in The Crucible at Melbourne Theatre Company in 2013.
