The English Actor charts the uniquely English approach to
stagecraft. In thirty chapters, Peter Ackroyd describes, with
superb narrative skill, the genesis of acting – deriving from the
Church tradition of Mystery Plays – through the flourishing of
the craft in the Renaissance to modern methods that followed the
advent of film and television. The biographies of the most notable
and celebrated actors are also explored, right up to the present
day. In this book, Ackroyd gives us an original and superbly
entertaining appraisal of how actors have acted – and how
audiences have responded – since the medieval period, and what we
mean by the ‘magic of the stage’.
