This book is an impassioned and forthright book about Brannagh's life and career: a childhood in Belfast, a period at RADA (where he won the gold medal), and then a starring role in Julian Mitchell's Another Country, followed by an astonishingly varied series of stage and fil roles. Brannagh talks candidly about his failures and successes; about his family and friends; about the setting up of Renaissance and of his association with Prince Charles, the company's Patron; and about the filming of Henry V, a major feature film directed by and starring Branagh himself. Full of humour, charm, anecdotes and sharp observations, this book is a frank and fascinating account of an actor's life and the record of a young man at the very top of his profession.
