King Lear in Brooklyn
Autor Michael Penningtonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 apr 2016
Michael Pennington's performance as Lear in New York in 2014 was considered to be the equal of those of Paul Scofield and John Gielgud. This book - part memoir, part analysis, part adventure story - lights up the familiar text and the unique production he led. Funny, candid and deeply illuminating, both honest and scholarly, King Lear In Brooklyn is the work of one of our finest actor-writers at the top of his form.

Recenzii
Michael Pennington is a Great actor, and a great writer about actors and acting. This book has all the wit, wisdom and passion that characterises his performances. Here is a page-turning artistic journey to an undiscovered country on the map, and in the mind. It brings with it all the touchingly complex humanity that the author finds in King Lear itself. It is written with honesty heart and humour by a master of his craft, and I thoroughly recommend it.
This great performer has a rare ability to describe the indescribable with such fine insights that his account of exploring both his Lear and his Life could be re-titled The Compleat Actor (though his modesty would balk at it), for that's what he is. I couldn't put it down.
King Lear has lowered his voice, the better to be heard more clearly. Mr. Pennington punctuates the expected blasts of rage with a quieter, introspective insight that is even more devastating.
I've seen a dozen Lears over the years, but none match the clarity, simplicity, and humanity of Pennington's. From him, I learned what the play is about.
Michael Pennington is playing Lear with crystal-clear definition, as if he were born to play the role. The result is close to perfection.
Michael Pennington will break your heart. That's his job, and he does it magnificently. He plays Lear to perfection, in moments large and small; he is harrowing to watch.
Pennington seems to grow to twice his height at times. But what's really striking is his uncanny depth of connection with his fellow actors in quieter scenes.
