Description

Sam Mendes and Simon Russell Beale have formed one of the most successful partnerships in contemporary theatre history. Over twenty years and eight productions, their collaboration has evolved and thrived through their work on stage. Mark Leipacher's correspondence with Mendes and Beale, combined with his research into archival material, provides a detailed account of their collaborations. The book offers insights into the rehearsal room, where moments of magic on stage arise, as well as anecdotes and gems of knowledge from the productions themselves. A foreword by Kevin Spacey adds to the book's value for anyone interested in theatre, making it an indispensable read for actors, directors, students, and theatre enthusiasts.
