EAST Lancashire actor David Ross took to the stage in Manchester in a role specially written for him by Alan Bleasdale.
David, of Blackburn, played Ben, a senile old man, in It's A Madhouse at the Opera House, Manchester.
The 42-year-old former pupil of St Peter's - now St Wilfrid's - School in Blackburn was hoping for more television work after taking many successful roles on stage.
