About this book

An unofficial history of the rise - and partial fall - of fringe theatre. Mike Bradwell captures episodes such as creating a character for Mike Leigh, witnessing on-stage mass orgasms of the Living Theatre in the 60s, teaching Bob Hoskins how to eat fire and becoming an escapologist (reluctantly).
