Interview in National Theatre Backstage Guides
Sam Stevenson CD spoke to me about auditioning for this NT resource book. I hope it de-mystifies the process a little!
A series of pocket-sized introductory guides to key aspects of theatre-making from acting and directing to set, costume, props and make-up.
The National Theatre Backstage Guides offer accessible, practical and positive introductions to key areas of theatre, useful both for complete novices and as a consolidatory tool for those who already have some theatrical experience. They equip the reader with essential information they require, acting as a springboard to further development.
Each Backstage Guide is informed by examples from National Theatre productions and draws on in-house expertise - like me!
“Famously well judged, never presuming knowledge about the discipline being examined – but also not shying away from the more nuanced elements of the practice”
