About the Author
Sir Peter Hall is one of the greatest theatre, film and opera directors of our time. At the age of 29 he founded the Royal Shakespeare Company. In 1973 he became Director of the National Theatre and opened the new theatres on the South Bank. He later founded the Peter Hall Company, producing many West End and Broadway successes. He has directed at many international opera houses, including Glyndebourne, the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, the Metropolitan Opera and Bayreuth. To date he has directed over two hundred productions, including the world premiere in English of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, and the premieres of most of Harold Pinter's plays.
Review
'Acting students and young professionals will flock to learn from him - passionate, entertaining - Indisputably wise and true - Wonderfully illuminating' Telegraph 'As fascinating to readers as it is to actors' Independent 'This is the most fabulously hybrid book - part actor's handbook, part memoir - what is most inspiring is Hall's conviction that form can be as exciting as feeling/ Acting in this way is more than just listening to Shakespeare - it is responding to Shakespeare's linear needs' Observer
