Steven Berkoff and the Theatre of Self-performanceManchester University Press, 2004 - Всего страниц: 240 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. |
