LETTERS FROM AN ACTOR

by William Redfield ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 21, 1967

For the stage-struck, an inside insight of one of the momentous events of recent Broadway history: the production of the Sir John Gielgud-Richard Burton Hamlet. These letters, written quite candidly with an eye to publication, relate the trials and tribulations of the rehearsal stages from an actor's point of view, with all his vulnerability, frustrations, doubts and special understanding. This tale of massive talents in conflict or striving to connect with one another is handled with unusual facility and perception. You feel you have really gotten to know the cast of characters right up to the point where Burton hears his first Boo and goes home to kick in the television set...
