  In each volume of the Shakespeare on Stage series, a leading actor takes us behind the scenes, recreating in detail a memorable performance in one of Shakespeare's major roles. They discuss their character, working through the play scene by scene, with refreshing candour and in forensic detail. The result is a masterclass on playing the role, invaluable for other actors and directors, as well as students of Shakespeare – and fascinating for audiences of the play.
  In this volume, Brian Cox discusses playing the title role in Titus Andronicus in Deborah Warner's visceral production for the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987.
  This interview, together with the others in the series (with actors such as Judi Dench, Ian McKellen and Jude Law), is also available in the collection Shakespeare on Stage: Thirteen Leading Actors on Thirteen Key Roles by Julian Curry, with a foreword by Trevor Nunn.
  'absorbing and original... Curry's actors are often thinking and talking as that other professional performer, Shakespeare himself, might have done' TLS

  The Imaginary Museum

  Join the art critic Ben Eastham on a private tour of an extraordinary museum. Let him walk you through a building constructed from memory and filled with a series of bewildering art works, while he delivers a guide comprised of personal experience, professional expertise and sympathy. 
  In this stunningly original book, an introduction to contemporary art is combined with the author's own memories and reflections on what art means. With the help of a cast of interfering security guards, pretentious curators, sceptical visitors, angry protestors and elusive ghosts, Eastham proposes that the art of today offers a way of understanding our increasingly strange and complex times.  
  Eastham doesn't ask you to like the artworks in his imaginary museum, but offers the tools for you to formulate and express your own opinion of them. He argues that art should be judged by the feelings it provokes and the conversations it generates: in talking about art, we learn to talk about ourselves and the world in which we live. 
  In this award-winning book, Eastham, a top art critic, delves into the aesthetics and theory of contemporary art, intertwining it with social and cultural anthropology. His unique approach to criticism, which encourages readers to form their own opinions based on the feelings provoked by the art, has been short-listed for numerous prizes. 
  For fans of Mark Fisher (How to Write About Theatre), John Berger (A Fortunate Man), Olivia Laing (Everybody), Joan Didion (Let Me Tell You What I Mean), and Joanna Biggs (A Life of One's Own).
