About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Acting, written and read by Lucian Msamati.

From one of the most celebrated actors of the stage and screen comes this book on the craft of acting.

Lucian Msamati draws on his rich experience, particularly in the context of productions at the National Theatre - including:

Amadeus
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
Master Harold and The Boys
Death and The King's Horseman
The Comedy of Errors
The Overwhelming

- to delve into sets of challenges and possibilities that actors might face.

He offers up his tips on getting started in the industry; navigating the various professional relationships and roles inside a rehearsal room; and offers insights into running your own company and generating your own work.

Peppered with quoted interviews with other industry professionals and personal anecdotes, which are sure to resonate with any listener, this will be a cherished book in any actor's arsenal.
