Description

Foreword by Ellen Page, star of Inception, Juno and X-Men

The perfect humorous gift for students, actors and anyone with an interest in theatre. In the most important theatrical book of this or any other decade, Twitter sensation @tips4actors gives you all the advice you need to take your acting to the next level. How to upstage your fellow cast members, what to wear on the first day of rehearsals, where to go for a poo in London's glamorous West End - it's all covered in here! Includes advice such as... 'Never read the script. Would your character read it No, of course not. For them the script doesn't exist' and 'When having sex with a casting director, show off your acting by faking an orgasm'. This is a hilarious parody which demands to be read.
