Shortly after, he came back to Stratford to play Richard III - a breakthrough performance that would transform his career, winning him the Laurence Olivier, Evening Standard and Critics' Circle Theatre Awards for Best Actor. Sher's record of the making of this historic theatrical event, Year of the King, has become a classic of theatre writing, a unique insight into the creation of a landmark Shakespearean performance. More than thirty years later, Antony Sher returned to Lear, this time in the title role, for the 2016 RSC production directed by Gregory Doran. Sher's performance was acclaimed by the Telegraph as 'a crowning achievement in a major career', and the show transferred from Stratford to London's Barbican. Once again, he kept a diary, capturing every step of his personal and creative journey to opening night. This book, Year of the Mad King: The Lear Diaries, is Sher's account of researching, rehearsing and performing one of Shakespeare's greatest roles. His honest, illuminating and witty commentary provides an intimate, first-hand look at the development of his Lear and the production as a whole. Also included are a selection of his paintings and sketches, many reproduced in full colour. Like his Year of the King and Year of the Fat Knight: The Falstaff Diaries before it, Year of the Mad King offers a fascinating perspective on the process of one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of his generation."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Sher, Antony, $d 1949- $v Diaries. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $t King Lear. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Stage history $y 1950- 600 00 $a Lear, $c King of England (Legendary character) 610 20 $a Royal Shakespeare Company. 650 0 $a Actors $z Great Britain $v Diaries. 710 2 $a Royal Shakespeare Company. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019020910.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=85498B84462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
