Description
In this electrifying memoir, Steven Berkoff charts his journey from troubled youth to internationally acclaimed actor, writer, and director. With trademark candour and bite, he reveals how he developed a radical approach to performance—and how he became the go‑to villain in some of cinema’s most iconic films.
Along the way, Berkoff pulls back the curtain on a career spent working with the giants of stage and screen. He reveals lively encounters with directors like Stanley Kubrick and Joe Papp, and shares first-hand experiences of collaborating with stars including Johnny Depp, Joan Collins, and Christopher Walken. From the hallowed halls of The National Theatre to the anarchic spirit of the Fringe, he captures the thrill, chaos, and uncompromising artistry that have defined his life’s work.
Advance Praise
"This is pure confessional: no hesitation; no omission; no theatrical tricks (at least on first glance). Movie stars, actors, directors, producers, girlfriends and wives, appear as a cast list on a set whilst Berkoff observes them, studies them as if he were preparing to introduce them as great characters of mime in one of his performances.
Readers can even enjoy the globe-trotting of this very London geezer turned theatrical gentleman. His memoir recounts trips across Spain, Paris, New York and Israel. The stage led him across many locations, and this man was more than happy to oblige in travelling there...Berkoff really opens the backstage curtain to the life behind great performers, producers and creatives. He isn’t afraid to tell (mostly) all about his encounters with the greats." - The Reviews Hub
