It is often hard for new and established actors and directors to get those "golden nuggets" about the craft unless you are lucky enough to get into those rehearsal rooms with the great artists. It is rare to find a book on acting and directing that gives practical notes that can impact your work immediately as an artist. Advice and guidance from those who are at the top of their profession and working every day.
Notes and tips that are short, direct, easy to interpret, and that can be implemented immediately into your craft. These are the things I sought to see and hear in the work. The following simple observations come from my twenty-three years working in the theatre and listening and watching those artists that, unfortunately, are no longer with us. They are ideas I have developed, tested, and did not want to die with these brilliant artists.
I must give tribute to those who in our personal conversations and work together took my work to the next level as an actor and director: John Barton, Brian Bedford, Peter Donaldson, Martha Henry, William Hutt, Sir John Hurt, Michael Langham, Richard Monette, Neil Munro, William Needles, John Neville, Christopher Newton, Robin Phillips, Jennifer Phipps, Christopher Plummer, Douglas Rain, Suzie Turnbull, Ian Watson, Brian Way, and David William.
