A passionate clear-sighted look at the day-to-day life of a
working actor, "The Dream" follows Leigh Lawson as he performs with
the Royal Shakespeare Company, taking a brief excursion to America
to appear in a Coward double-bill. Invited by the RSC to play both
Oberon and Theseus in "A Midsummer Night's Dream," he navigates his
way through the separate difficulties posed by each role, survives
the first night at London's Barbican, and returns to Stratford upon
Avon, the scene of many of his childhood escapades and the source
of his love affair with the theatre.
The book draws the reader inside the mind of an actor: his fears
and reveries; his pragmatism and superstition; his shifting
feelings about rehearsals and performances, and the oddities of
audiences.
Vivid, warm-hearted and perceptive, "The Dream" will delight
everybody with an interest in the theatre.
