SUMMARY:Alison Steadman – Out of Character: A Memoir
DESCRIPTION:The first memoir from the national treasure\, critically acclaimed actress and much-loved Gavin & Stacey star. Candice Marie in Nuts in May\, Beverly in Abigail’s Party\, Mrs Bennet in Pride and Prejudice\, Betty inFat Friends\, Sue in Here We Go and Pamela in Gavin & Stacey: Just a few of the beloved\, iconic characters brought to life by the magnificent Alison Steadman. \n\n\n\nGrowing up in post-war\, working-class Liverpool\, the young Alison – ever the entertainer – would address the world from the stage of her bedroom window\, until she got a taste for performing in front of an actual audience at her progressive 1960s drama school. By the time she left\, her mind was made up: she was going to be an actress! If only she could conquer the onstage giggling … \n\n\n\nAlways pushing boundaries – reclining naked on a sofa in her first role\, embracing groundbreaking female characters from day one – Alison has deservedly found acclaim and recognition\, succeeding in her TV and theatre career while juggling family life – a difficult feat for any working mother\, but particularly for an actress in the twentieth century. From the nervy Mrs Bennet to the robo-dancing Pam-el-aah\, Alison has proved herself again and again to be a comedy genius. Here\, with her distinctive warmth and humour\, she vividly recalls all the must- read moments of a life spent in and out of character. \n\n\n\nAlison Steadman is one of the best-loved English actresses. She has achieved recognition across television\, film and stage. She has won an Olivier\, a National Society of Film Critic Award\, and has been nominated for two BAFTAs. She lives in London with her partner Michael and is a keen birdwatcher and patron for the RSPB. Alison was awarded an OBE in 2000. \n\n\n\nTickets £16.00 (£12.00 Students)
