Melbourne, Nov 17 Cate Blanchett has said that performing in stage productions has worked like glue in keeping her family together.

In an interview with US Vogue, the 'Elizabeth' actress said that theatre brings stability and regular working hours to her life.

"There are so few experiences in our manicured, nanny-stated existence that have the quality of circus. Theatre still does," the Daily Telegraph quoted her as saying.

"And so, when the boys aren't playing with friends, they can usually be found playing backstage.

"They're always engaged in the family business, so to speak," she added. (ANI)
