Acting students and young professionals will flock to learn from him - passionate, entertaining - Indisputably wise and true - Wonderfully illuminating * Telegraph * As fascinating to readers as it is to actors * Independent * This is the most fabulously hybrid book - part actor's handbook, part memoir - what is most inspiring is Hall's conviction that form can be as exciting as feeling. Acting in this way is more than just listening to Shakespeare - it is responding to Shakespeare's linear needs * Observer *
