Sam Wanamaker: A Global Performer Diana Devlin's biography explores the life of Sam Wanamaker, a man who left an indelible mark on the world of theatre. Born in the USA, Wanamaker trained as an actor and began his career during the golden age of radio drama, before moving to Broadway. A vocal advocate for social justice, Wanamaker's commitment to left-wing activism led him to move to the UK during a tumultuous period in history. He went on to carve a successful international career as actor, producer, and director, directing the opening production at the Sydney Opera House. Despite his many achievements, Wanamaker was also known for his stubborn and domineering personality. This biography sheds new light on Wanamaker's life and vision, revealing the driving force behind his most ambitious project: the reconstruction of Shakespeare's Globe near its original site in London.
