Product Information
The legendary 1964 Broadway run of Hamlet directed by John Gielgud is one of the most famous productions of Shakespeare's most important play. Audacious for its time in concept and execution, it placed the actors in everyday clothes within an unassuming "rehearsal" set, with the Ghost of Hamlet's father projected as a shadow against the rear wall and voiced by the director himself. It was also a runaway critical and financial success, breaking the then-record for most performances of a Broadway show. This was in no small part due to the starring role played by Richard Burton, whose romance with Elizabeth Taylor was the object of widespread fascination. Present throughout, and ever attentive to the backstage drama and towering egos on display, was the actor William Redfield, who played Guildenstern. During the three months of the play's preparation, from rehearsals through out-of-town tryouts to the gala opening night on Broadway, Redfield wrote a series of letters describing the daily happenings and his impressions of them. In 1967, they were collected into Letters from an Actor, a brilliant and unusual book that has since become a classic behind-the-scenes account that remains an indispensable contribution to theatrical history and lore. This new edition at last brings Redfield's classic back into print, as The Motive and the Cue--the Sam Mendes-directed play about the Gielgud production that is based in part on the book--continues its successful run in London's West End.

Reviews
"What [Redfield] has to say will be read with pleasure ... by fellow-actors. For others, it will hold interest of a different order."--The New York Time "I've never seen the tortuous and elusive process of the production of a play from first to last so truthfully realized ... Endlessly fascinating."--Paul Scofield "The main value of these letters is in their analysis of what acting is: its techniques, its feares, its disappointments, its rewards. William Redfield takes us from his first audition to an epilogue written after the play had broken a record for continuous performances of Hamlet."--Library Journal "There are many solemn books about acting. But gaiety keeps breaking in on this one, which is proof of its authenticity. Add wit, temperament, a passion for the theatre, terror before opening nights, and you have all the elements ... for a first-rate book about acting."--Brooks Atkinson "One of the best accounts ever written by an actor about the working theatre."--Maurice Dolbier, "What [Redfield] has to say will be read with pleasure ... by fellow-actors.
