Covering Shakespeare
£14.99Covering Shakespeare
David Weston has spent a lifetime acting in Shakespeare’s plays, and has been directed by Peter Hall, John Barton, Jonathan Miller, Trevor Nunn and Nicholas Hytner. Chosen as Ian McKellen’s understudy in the RSC’s King Lear, he toured the world and recorded his experiences in his diary, which became the award-winning ‘Covering Shakespeare: An Understudy’s Tale’, called salty, evocative and informative by the Daily Mail. It went on to win the prestigious I.T.R. Theatre Book of the the Year Prize for 2012. In this volume, Weston goes even further, tracing his 62 year association with the Bard. He has appeared in 29 of the 37 plays, many several times, and has worked with all the major companies to the outmost limits of the Fringe, from Hollywood to Hong Kong, with the great, the mediocre and the forgotten. He has stories and reminiscences about them all, written in his inimitable style.
