Power Play: Biography of Peter Hall by Stephen Fay
This biography of one of the most influential figures in British theatre, Peter Hall, charts his career from his earliest days. He has been director of three major theatre companies, The Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre and his own company, and has directed some of the most controversial performances in the theatre or the opera house. Four times married, Peter Hall's private life has received almost equal billing with his public one, but despite an autobiography and a volume of diaries, the real man remains an enigma. In this book, Stephen Fay follows Hall's career from the beginning. With the co-operation of his wives, friends and colleagues, and with access to unpublished letters and papers, he uncovers the complex man behind the media image.
Stephen Fay has been a top journalist for The Sunday Times - for whom he was Washington Correspondent - the Independent on Sunday and the Standard. His other books include The Great Silver Bubble.
