Fascinating look at a fascinating actor., January 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Beckett Actor: Jack Macgowran, Beginning to End (Hardcover)
My interest in Irish theatre brought me to this book. What a find! A fascinating look at a fascinating actor. The author brings alive the work and times of MacGowran. A well-researched and thorough work recommended for any student of theatre. I was especially impressed with the variety of interview subjects. Made me do a search for MacGowran's available work on video. While not a big fan of Beckett, I was impressed by the relationship between the playwright and this ultimate interpreter of his works.

The Gift of MacGowran, August 23, 2005
This review is from: The Beckett Actor: Jack Macgowran, Beginning to End (Hardcover)
I cannot imagine my life without the influence of Jack MacGowran as a crucial part of it. Young does an excellent job of bringing this amazing actor's life and work to the reader. But, after reading the book, please take the time to discover what Jack did best: Bringing the works of Samuel Beckett to life.
