![]() | Shakespeare on Stage : Thirteen Leading Actors on Thirteen Key Roles Thirteen leading actors take us behind the scenes, each recreating in detail a memorable performance in one of Shakespeare's major roles. * Brian Cox on Titus Andronicus in Deborah Warner's visceral RSC production The actors discuss their characters, working through the play scene by scene, with refreshing candour and in forensic detail. The result is a masterclass on playing each role, invaluable for other actors and directors, as well as students of Shakespeare - and fascinating for audiences of the plays. Together, the interviews give one of the most comprehensive pictures yet of these characters in performance, and of the choices that these great actors have made in bringing them thrillingly to life. 'These passages of times remembered contribute vividly to the sense of a teemingly creative period when Shakespeare seemed to have been rediscovered.' Trevor Nunn, from his Foreword 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. |
