Synopsis

A wonderfully practical - and personal - introduction to acting by someone at the top of her profession who can really do it. ***New edition with new introduction by the author*** "Acting is what I do with who I am", writes Harriet Walter - and in this book she takes us step by step through the processes involved in performance. And each step of the way is illuminated with brilliantly precise examples drawn from her own experience.
