REVIEWS
"Honest, uplifting, expert advice from a genius of the craft" ~ Riz Ahmed
"Christians have the Bible, now actors have this book. At last, everyone is happy" ~ Simon Pegg
"Like its author, this little book is packed full of wit, wisdom and good things" ~ Matthew Macfadyen
"A wonderful insight into the secrets of success that will help anyone achieve their dreams" ~ Richard Wiseman
"I absolutely devoured this book. Yes, it's witty but it's also sincere, informative, practical and humble in its truths" ~ Toni Collette
"Like having a friend in your pocket! Supremely practical, wise, reassuring, inspiring and funny chockful of good humour and good sense" ~ Keeley Hawes
'When I was starting out, wanting to read about how to unlock the mysteries of working in the theatre, I could only turn to Stanislavski. But now, you lucky young people (and indeed people of all ages), there is Nyman. One-tenth the length, a hundred times funnier and crammed with practical wisdom read it and in every sense, you'll have a head start' ~ Trevor Nunn
" ... a must-read for every aspiring actor and actress, including all established performers and I have recommended it to many since reading it. It confirms and reaffirms why we are in this profession. Not only does it impart hard-earned knowledge, it does so with a sense of fun, a little mischief, and always with dignity, which (let's face it) can take a daily beating. It's probably the most important book on acting and actors I've ever read; period! Keep it by your bedside at all times!' ~ Liam Neeson
Makes a great fun gift!
