Author Description

If you ever thought that being an actor was glamorous or that writing television reviews was fun, then this book will set you straight. In 2000, actor Simon Hughes embarked on a national tour of A Midsummer Night's Dream with the Bell Shakespeare Company while Simon Hughes (the TV critic) kept up his regular column. This is the story of that journey. Inner travelogue meets outer monologue as Simon's two professions collide on the road in an expose of high art from under a low brow.
