5.0 out of 5 stars
A MUST for Performers!,
By A Customer
This review is from: About Acting (Performance Books) (Paperback)
This book is a WINNER -- I recommend it to ANYONE who sets foot onstage, or who has ever simply thought "How is British theater/TV so different from American?". While Mr Barkworth's writing style can sometimes be a little precious, the technical ideas he offers are invaluable. His thoroughly British, technical approach to stagecraft offers many wonderful practical tips and tools to help bring a performance to life. Mr Barkworth's years as a teacher at RADA are evident in his ability to concisely hit on some of the most commonly encountered stage situations, and he suggests wonderfully practical ways of preparing yourself, improving your performance, and coping with the inevitable problems faced onstage. To help demonstrate some of his points, Mr Barkworth also offers both amusing and helpful anecdotes from his own experience, as well as some of his stage colleagues, including stalwarts such as Dames Wendy Hiller and Edith Evans. The book is a glimpse into the world of the 20th Century London West End and a fascinating slice of history as well as a helpful technical guide. Highly recommended. |
