The World According to Mike Leigh by Michael Coveney
Mike Leigh, the satirist of the suburbs, has been one of the great mavericks and creative geniuses of British stage, cinema and television since his first film, "Bleak Moments", burst on an unsuspecting public in 1971. Since then, his works have included "Nuts in May", "Goose-pimples", "Life is Sweet" and many more. He has worked with most of Britain's leading actors, including Tim Roth, Timothy Spall and Jane Horrocks, as well as with his wife, Alison Steadman.
MICHAEL COVENEY is one of Britain's most respected theater critics and has written about theatre for over three decades, as editor of Plays and Players, and as staff critic on the Financial Times, Observer and Daily Mail. His books include a history of the Glasgow Citizens Theatre and biographies of Maggie Smith, Mike Leigh and Andrew Lloyd Webber. He regularly contributes to the Independent, Guardian, Observer, New Statesman, Prospect and BBC Radio's Front Row. He lives in England.
