Salem to Moscow: An Actor’s Odyssey is about one of the leading actors of his entire generation. He started his career with Dundee Rep and graduated from there up to the Royal Court Theatre, London, the Nottingham Playhouse and New York. Much more recently, he won immense acclaim for his performance of Titus in “Titus Andronicus”, which was directed by Deborah Warner for the RSC, and has played King Lear at the Royal National Theatre in London and on international tour.
This book is a personal history that spans 30 years in British theatre however it starts out in the 1980s when Brian, despite a considerable amount of success on either side of the Atlantic, was nevertheless seeking a fresh purpose for his work and life. He went off on a journey which culminated in directing Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” at the Moscow Art Theatre school, then in the throes of Gorbache v’s thaw, and the setting up of the International Foundation for Training in the Arts.
Here is the story of such an undertaking. Set against the background of perestroika, this book is an account of the many journeys one actor makes across different cultures and through changing environments. Brian brings together an account of his career with a compelling narrative while working within Moscow’s most hallowed theatre to make an acutely perceptive story of public and private “glasnost”.
