"Steven Berkoff was asked to direct Shakespeare's Richard II in New York early 1994. It was a project he found fascinating: performing an Elizabethan play within the scrapers of Manhattan and the still rotting slums of the Lower East Side, between the steaming breath oozing out from the cracked pipes and the brutality of modern New York speak. New York became the backdrop and the energy centre which charged him each day and fed his inspi ..."

He has been at the cutting age of the British stage for 25 years but in this book turns his talents to the world stage. Nothing escapes Berkoff's basilisk vision.
