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.

Big Sur's scenic grandeur and formidable landscapes have inspired countless artists and writers to capture the essence of Big Sur's magic.  Early pioneers struggled to carve out their meager farms and ranchos, a few ships plied the treacherous rocky coastline, some losing their precious cargos at night to vicious storms, gold miners worked the ghost town of Manchester, while loggers stripped tanbark, giant redwoods were harvested, and ranchers exported grizzly bears by boats, and more recently thousands of hippies tried out their culture on the fragile environment.  Those who survived it all inspired this book of tales.
