  Stage fright has the power to drive actors away from the stage for months, years, and even a lifetime. It is a monster that can affect any actor at any time - but it is also a challenge that can be met.
  In Facing the Fear - the first book of its kind written specifically for actors - performer, author and teacher Bella Merlin draws on her own and other actors' personal experiences to examine:
  
  
  - The internal and external roots of stage fright, and how it manifests itself both psychologically and physiologically
  - The complex relationship between the actor and the audience, and how it contributes to stage fright
  - The cognitive processes of learning, storing and retrieving lines, and practical strategies to help
  - The essential principles for building a healthy, fear-free rehearsal environment
  - The techniques that actors can employ to develop their own practices, from tips on physical wellbeing to performance strategies
  Insightful, empowering and always reassuring, Facing the Fear is a book for any actor: for those who are experiencing or have previously suffered from stage fright, as well as for those who want to be fully prepared in case that day ever comes. It provides all the tools actors need to understand, confront and ultimately overcome stage fright and its effects, thereby regaining control over their lives and careers. (And it might just save a fortune in psychotherapist's fees!)
  It's also valuable reading for any teacher, director or stage manager working closely with actors, and a fascinating insight for anyone interested in what actors go through.
  'An utterly engrossing book about confronting one of the most fundamental aspects of being an actor - fear.' Antony Sher

  Elvis Is King - Costello's My...

  Before Elvis Costello was one of Rolling Stone’s greatest artists of all time, before he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he was Declan P. McManus, an office drone with a dull suburban life and a side gig in a pub rock band. In 1976, under the guidance of legendary label Stiff Records, he transformed himself into the snarling, spectacled artist who defied the musical status quo to blaze the trail for a new kind of rock star with his debut album, My Aim Is True. In Elvis Is King, Richard Crouse examines how the man, the myth, and the music of this arrestingly original album smashed the trends of the era to bridge the gap between punk and rock ’n’ roll.
