Description
Bill Bryden is one of the true mavericks of British theatre. He has directed some of the greatest stage shows in popular memory, including the world premiere of Glengarry Glen Ross and the Olivier Award-winning cycle The Mysteries. With characteristic wit he shares his favourite memories of some the 20th Century's biggest stars of stage and screen: including Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Laurence Olivier and Helen Mirren. Each is accompanied by exclusive photographs by Nobby Clark - the result is an intimate and often hilarious portrait of lives in the theatre.
