Born in the East End in 1937 and educated at Hackney Downs Grammar (Harold Pinter's old school), throughout his life as actor, director and playwright, Steven Berkoff has been variously described as exciting, controversial, thrilling, egocentric, electric and dynamic.Ranging freely between his childhood, his teenage years spent going 'up West', a formative year with family in the USA, his early days in theatre, this first collection of autobiographical writings from Steven Berkoff shows how he siphoned off and transformed those experiences for his plays, East and West and how his later experiences informed Greek. Berkoff's autobiography is essential reading for all those fascinated by his explosive dynamism and an inspiration to those wanting to enter the theatrical profession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/steven-berkoff-books\"\u003eSteven Berkoff\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faber and Faber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0571190103\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":47912221180081,"sku":"SB-0571190103-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0571190103.png?v=1789317561"},{"product_id":"steven-berkoff-plays-3","title":"Steven Berkoff Plays 3","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree plays: Ritual in Blood; The Messiah; Oedipus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/steven-berkoff-books\"\u003eSteven Berkoff\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faber \u0026amp; Faber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780571205875\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":47912224719025,"sku":"SB-0571205879-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0571205879.jpg?v=1789184853"},{"product_id":"gross-intrusion-and-other-stories","title":"Gross Intrusion and Other Stories","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/steven-berkoff-books\"\u003eSteven Berkoff\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartet Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0704301962\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Quartet Books","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £754.80","offer_id":47912661319857,"sku":"SB-0704301962-C3","price":754.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0704301962.jpg?v=1789815221"},{"product_id":"west-and-other-plays","title":"West and Other Plays","description":"\u003cp\u003eSteven Berkoff is a phenomenon. Among artists working in the theatre today he is probably the most theatrical - his special combination of speech, movement and spectacle is uniquely powerful. Here are the texts of three plays: West, a jolting view of life in the city; Lunch, a slightly tragic vignette of non-commitment between strangers; and Harry's Christmas, about individual isolation. \"It isn't easy to commit to Berkoff because he demands all or nothing. When you watch him act, especially in one of his own plays, he is compelling and disturbing. But when you read the lines of his plays away from the atmospheric tension that the theatre provides, the challenge he proposes is directly aimed at all the preconceptions we British hold dearest...I hope you are as stirred by these plays as I have been.\" (from the introduction by Pete Townshend)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/steven-berkoff-books\"\u003eSteven Berkoff\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faber \u0026amp; Faber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780571134878\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £2.01","offer_id":47958432612529,"sku":"SB-0571134874-C4","price":2.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0571134874.jpg?v=1790050797"}],"url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/collections\/steven-berkoff-books.oembed","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
