Containing over a hundred interviews conducted over the last fifteen
years with leading directors, actors and writers at the National

In these illuminating interviews playwrights such as Michael Frayn,
Kwame Kwei-Armah, Rebecca Lenkiewicz, David Hare, Pam Gems and Tony
Kushner and many others talk about the roots of their work, their
methods of research, and how they collaborate with their directors,
while actors from Fiona Shaw to Kenneth Branagh, and directors from
Peter Hall to Marianne Elliott, contribute fascinating insights into
their ideas and ways of working. The book covers plays by the Greeks
and Shakespeare, English and European classics, and the best of modern
English, Irish and American drama.

wealth of interviews he's conducted at the National Theatre in this
