Reviews & endorsements
"This collection of essays by actors of the Royal Shakespeare Company is an excellent revelation of the working of the actor's mind as it moves from the first awareness of Shakespeare's words and ideas through the actor's image-built-upon-image characterization....This excellent series carries on the tradition of toby Cole and Helen K. Chinoy in Actors on Acting, with a more in-depth analysis by each actor; a future Edwin Duerr would find great use for these volumes as he writes his history of the theatre." Norman Lofland, English Language Notes
