About This Book

A close friend and colleague offers a portrait of a celebrated actor drawn from decades of intimate acquaintance, combining personal anecdotes, stage recollections, and critical reflection. The author traces early memories and theatrical formation, describes management of a major theatre and landmark productions, and examines the subject's approach to Shakespeare, characterization, make-up, and stage effects. Interspersed are behind-the-curtain scenes—rehearsals, collaborations with designers and musicians, touring episodes, and reactions from audiences and critics—and assessments of artistic method, temperament, and relationships with contemporaries. The work balances reminiscence with practical detail to convey both the working life and private qualities of its subject.
