📱 eBook en inglés LET ME PLAY THE LION TOO

How do you prepare for your first day on the set? Why might a bad audition lead to a good job offer? How should you research? Whats the effect of a long tour on your love-life? Can you have a glass of wine before a matinee? Whats the difference between transitive and intransitive corpsing? What is stage fright?

In Michael Penningtons highly personal guide and memoir there are sections on rehearsals, on television then and now, on who does what on a film set, on the disciplines and rewards of musical theatre, and five directors discuss why the scenery is better on radio. Disability and racial bias in the theatre are discussed and we sometimes hear from other, younger voices who are following parallel paths.

Infectiously enthusiastic, both conversational and profound, Let Me Play the Lion Too draws on the authors fifty years of experience to celebrate the deadly serious, sometimes hilarious, often misunderstood but infinitely enriching life of a professional actor.
