Beschreibung:
I was born in Manchester in 1934. After school I trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and worked for seven years as a professional actor, with Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop and London Old Vic Company, touring extensively in Europe (including two seasons at the Moscow Arts Theatre). I still act occasionally on TV.
Why do we go to theatre? Why do actors act? If it's only "escapism", what is it we are escaping from? This book sets about answering these questions.
