Steven Berkoff is the playwright, director and actor whom theatre
scholars have until now chosen to ignore. Yet this notorious
Cockney enfant terrible has left an imprint on modern British
theatre is as impossible to ignore as his presence on the stage.
This study of this contentious, larger-than-life figure examines
the strategies adopted by Berkoff in the construction and
projection of his multifaceted public persona. into the dynamic
processes involved in the self-mythologization of a theatre artist
famously concerned with revealing himself through his plays and
writings, Robert Cross covers all of Berkoff's works, including
Greek, East, Kvetch and Metamorphosis, as well as looking at his
choice of film roles, including Octopussy and The Krays. With its
specific approach, this text attempts to fill a large gap in
theatre scholarship and also attempts to contribute to our
understanding of the role of peformance in identity formation in
general. academic researchers and teachers involved in theatre and
drama studies, English literature, cultural and film studies and
psychology should find this long-awaited and lively study both
provocative and informative.
