Graft Summary

Graft: Tales of an Actor by Steven Berkoff

Harry is a dedicated actor, often out of work, rejected and desperate for opportunities to practice his art. Brief moments of success only serve to increase his thirst for fulfillment. In these moving, sometimes harrowing short stories Steven Berkoff, tears the skin off the acting profession to reveal the raw, bleeding reality of the actors everyday life.

Graft Reviews

'Berkoff: Brutal, compassionate, brilliant.Examines the actor's soul with a precision that is acutely painful and appallingly funny.' Richard E. Grant 'Steven Berkoff is different. His Tales of an Actor speak with a bracing honesty of experience in the theatre with which all actors are familiar, but which few havedared to articulate. He is a pioneer. His views are both caustic and invigorating - I hope they will be read by anyone interested in the theatre and in the work of actors.' Paul Scofield 'Steven Berkoff's funny and touching Tales of an Actor strikes one with all the terrors and stupidity and hilarity with which we combat our ill-chosen, foolish way of life.' Alec McCowen

About Steven Berkoff

Widely known as an actor, director and playwright, Steven Berkoff is one of the leading British exponents of modern theatre, with a taste for stark contrasts and disturbing juxtapositions. His original and outrageous play 'East' combined Shakespearean grandeur and cockney rhyming slang to riotous effect. Adaptations including Kafka's 'Metamorphosis' and 'The Trial', Oscar Wilde's 'Salome' and further stage plays such as 'Greek' and 'Kvetch', performed throughout the world, have earned him a international following.
