I, an Actor by Nicholas Craig: Another Great Actor Explores Himself

by Christopher Douglas (Primary Contributor), Christopher Douglas (Primary Contributor), Nigel Planer (Primary Contributor), Nicholas Craig (Author)

Synopsis

At last the memoirs of Nicholas Craig - theatrical eminence best known for his Truepate in The Cuckolde of Leicester and more popularly as Gob in Oh No! It's the Neighbours! - are re-released for a grateful audience, updated with a wealth of new and controversial material. Startlingly truthful, unflinchingly illustrated, I, An Actor is a piton up the slope of creativity for theatre fans and aspiring actors alike, revealing everything that most theatrical autobiographies cravenly avoid. Should you sport a moustache in your publicity photo? How can you fix a prolapsed labial or a bad case of 'blow-out'? What should you never call Alec Guinness during rehearsals? Is it true Brian Blessed only weighs 9 1/2 stone? And what should you do when Hollywood comes calling? This book blows the lid off the secrets of the profession, leaving no reputation safe.
