Críticas:

'You might not fully appreciate it when it happens, but the most memorable and gutsy moment of this theatrical season to date is when David Hare, a slim, trim, unassuming figure in his fifties...steps onto the stage of the Booth Theatre to begin his performance playing David Hare in his own "Via Dolorosa." David Hare, the British playwright? Yes, and not only that, but a playwright making his debut as a professional actor." --"The New York Times" "Hare resembles but surpasses Ed Murrow on radio drawing word pictures of the blitz in London. He is the ancient storyteller unfolding his tales under the shade of a tree, in the village square or a fire-lit town...One leaves Hare's performance with the conviction that one word can be worth a thousand pictures." --"Wall Street Journal" "You go expecting to hear a talk. What you get is a deeply moving theatrical mosaic." --"Guardian"

Reseña del editor:

In 1997 the 50-year-old playwright David Hare decided to visit the 50-year-old state of Israel and write a play - Via Dolorosa - about the conflict. He then chose to become the actor of his own play and set about learning to act the monologue for an uninterrupted 95 minutes on stage. Acting Up is a diary of the ups and downs of that learning curve as well as an insight into what it is actors, directors, producers and stage staff actually do in rehearsals. Hare's hilarious diary of his experience on both sides of the Atlantic tells of his difficulties in coming to terms with his terrifying change of career, but also grapples with more serious questions about the nature of acting itself.
