One of the very best theatre books ever
Alec Guinness
Remarkable...extraordinarily well written, perceptive and rivetingly sympathetic
John Gielgud
Simon Callow is a writer - and a very good one too. Few people can match him in catching with words the physical excitement of a great performance
Peter Hall
Callow’s emphatic biography certainly presents this complicated man in all his contradictory roles
Sally Morris, Daily Mail
a fine character actor’s tribute to the king of the tribe. The numerous insights show Callow to be that rarity, an actor who can write about acting
Jake Kerridge, Sunday Telegraph
