Shakespeare On Stage by Julian Curry

Shakespeare On Stage by Julian Curry

Thirteen leading actors take us behind the scenes, each recreating in detail a memorable performance in one of Shakespeare's major roles.

'Absorbing and original… Curry's actors are often thinking and talking as that other professional performer, Shakespeare himself, might have done'

* Times Literary Supplement *

'There are many pleasures to be derived from reading this bookIt presents portraits of actors in their prime looked at from a particular perspective, it illuminates major Shakespearean roles and, in passing, we learn a lot about the directors with whom these actors worked and their methodologies... Shakespeare on Stage is yet another fine book from the Nick Hern stable and will please any lover of classical theatre or great acting and directing'

* British Theatre Guide *

Julian Curry is himself an actor, best known as Claude Erskine-Brown in Rumpole of the Bailey on television. He has appeared in many of Shakespeare's plays, frequently with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and in several of the productions anatomised in this book.
