Media Reviews
'Yes, it could help young actors trying to break into the profession, but there's also plenty here for old stagers... you could learn a lot.' The Stage (August 2007) 'The introduction to this year's edition of the annually updated Actor's Yearbook repeats the well known fact that an actor's life is not an easy one , but this one-stop shop of information and guidance to both aspiring and established actors to help them negotiate the wealth of opportunities - as well as the minefield of pitfalls - should make it easier.'
