Het teven van een groepje aankomende acteurs van de dag in 1992 dat ze op de toneelschool arriveren tot veertien jaar later ( ) A delightful novel that follows the careers of a group of actors from their days at drama school in 1992, through the years until 2006. The tone is light, but with humour and pathos, Ester Freud sketches in their trials and tribulations; their triumphs; their fears; and the changing relationships in their lives. With sympathetic insight, she reveals the insecurity of acting, worries about where the next role will come from and how the actors need to take other temporary work to tide themselves over between roles. In all, a wonderfully written book that brings to vivid life an actor’s precarious profession and life. Follow four theatre school students for a decade, from the heady days of being taught how to Act to the pitliless and fiercely competitive real world of agents, touring, relationships and ambition. The star here is Freud's voice - truthfull, shimmering with clarity and always enthralling. . Her vignettes especially shine, with a somewhat kind standup comedian’s view of things – describing a visit to the homeopath or the plight of the waitress serving a large group. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"It is their first day at Drama Arts, and the nervous students huddled in a circle are told in no uncertain terms that here, unlike at any other drama school, they will be taught to Act. To Be. To exist in their own world on the stage. But outside is the real world-a pitiless, alluring place in which each of them in their most fervent dreams hopes to flourish and excel. Nell, insecure and dumpy, wonders if she will ever be cast as anything other than the maid. She'll never compete, she knows, with the multitude of confident, long-legged beauties thronging the profession- most notably Charlie, whose effortless ascendance is nothing less than she expects. Meanwhile, Dan, ambitious and serious, has his sights fixed on the role of Hamlet, as well as on fiery, rebellious Jemma. Over the following decade, these young actors grapple with haphazard tours, illogical auditions, unobtainable agents, deluxe trailers, rocky relationships, and red-carpet premieres."
