Stage and Screen Lives by Michael Billington
Theatre critic and presenter, Michael Billington has made a personal selection taken from the "Dictionary of National Biography" of over 100 mini-biographies spanning a wide spectrum of people who have played some part in shaping the culture of the worlds of stage and screen in Britain. As Michael Billington details in his introduction, the choice of entries has been based partly on the subject of the entry and partly on the individual biographer and their own insight into the life of the subject. The biographies include actors, critics, entertainers, directors and pioneers in film and theatre.Since 1971, Michael Billington has been the Guardian's theater reviewer, and since 1986, he has been the critic for Country Life. He has written biographies of Harold Pinter and Peggy Ashcroft, as well as critical assessments of Tom Stoppard and Alan Ayckbourn. He is a Visiting Professor at King's College, London, and an Honorary Fellow of St Catherine's College, Oxford, and talks and broadcasts frequently on the arts. He also teaches drama at the University of Pennsylvania and is a Visiting Professor at King's College, London.
