Product Description

Following in the footsteps of Nick Asbury's bestselling Exit Pursued by a Badger, actor and Royal Shakespeare Company alumnus Keith Osborn tells the story of the company's extraordinary 2008/9 season in Stratford and London, with much drama on and off stage.

Review
If aimed at the student, it serves as an excellent elementary guide to the basics of stagecraft. If aimed at the Doctor Who fan, there is the sidelight on Tennant s actorly life. He recalls Tom Stoppard s Rosencrantz or Guildenstern, walking a fine line between being the quiet, unambitious courtier or being a real player in the world of Elsinor. --Joseph Chance, Time Literary Supplement
