Description
Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Trevor Nunn's new production of King Lear promises to be one of the greatest tours in theatre history. However, behind the scenes, the stage was set for chaos. As understudy to the King himself, David Weston takes us through the London rehearsals, the historical Stratford Season, the glittering West End, and then out across the globe. Weston's frank and funny account is punctuated with hilarious celebrity anecdotes and insightful travelling tales, offering lessons for any aspiring thespian. This behind-the-scenes look at Royal Shakespeare Company's much-heralded tour reveals the chaos underneath the curtain.
