1. Year Of The King
An Actor's Diary and Sketchbook
An intimate, wry actor’s diary that chronicles a year spent preparing for and performing a major Shakespearean king—tracking the physical and psychological transformation, the grueling rehearsals, wardrobe and prosthetic work, lively exchanges with directors and colleagues, the thrill and anxiety of opening nights, and the shifting press and public response—while offering candid, often humorous insights into the craft of performance, the pressures of the theatrical world, and the personal cost and reward of inhabiting a notorious, morally complex role.
