Using new interview material with actors, directors and writers,
this book explores the challenges of performance in documentary
theatre. Through a series of high profile case studies, Cantrell
uses acting theory to examine the actors' complex processes, and
makes a significant contribution to our understanding of stage
performance.
This is the first book to explore how actors play real people. How
do you capture Hitler, Mugabe, or a serial killer? How do you
portray living monarchs or political leaders? Is it possible to
embody a genius like Mozart, Woolf or Darwin? What are the
pressures of performing an icon like Marlene Dietrich? Bringing
together original conversations with award-winning actors, the
line-up includes Jeremy Irons, Dame Eileen Atkins, David Morrissey,
Henry Goodman, and Sir Ian McKellen.
The first collection of its kind to bring together scholarly and
practitioner perspectives, this book analyses the experiences,
skills and techniques of actors when working on television.
Featuring eleven chapters by internationally distinguished
researchers and actor trainers, this collection examines the acting
processes and resulting performances of some of the most acclaimed
television actors. Topics include: studio and location realism;
actor training for television; actor well-being in the television
industry; performance in reality television and British and Irish
actors in contemporary US television and film. The book also
contains case studies examining the work of Emmy-award-winning
actor Viola Davis and the iconic character of Gene Hunt in Life on
Mars (BBC, 2006-2007).
