Drama: An Actor's Education by John Lithgow

4.0

An engrossing and well-written memoir by John Lithgow detailing his childhood--where he attended 8 secondary schools before graduation, his years at Harvard, his Fulbright scholarhip to England, his years in regional theater and on Broadway, and his relocation to the West Coast with his resulting career in film. But much of this book is a tribute to his father, Arthur Lithgow. Arthur Lithgow was an actor, director, and producer in regional theater and he served as a faculty member in numerous colleges from Ohio to Princeton. A hilarious, sentimental, and very moving look at significant episodes in an eventful life.
