Some Letters I Never Sent...: (And one or two I did)

Immerse yourself in the world of theatre, through letters to colleagues living and dead, some famous, some forgotten, and some yet undiscovered.

Max Stafford-Clark, former artistic director of the Royal Court Theatre and founder of the award-winning company Out Of Joint, touches on the highs and lows of a fascinating fifty-four-year career in a series of letters, both professional and personal.

Informative, witty and touching, the book is part-opinion, part-memoir and part-autobiography, rich with anecdote and instruction for theatre lovers and students alike. Stafford-Clark ruminates on the troubled lives of great actors, the problems of re-inventing classics, his personal heroes, and his own fall from grace.
