Nicholas Hytner provides fascinating insights into the workings of British theatre and the craft of a director in his look back at his time as artistic director of the National Theatre from 2003 to 2015. It includes details about the staging of some of the most high-profile productions such as The History Boys, War Horse, One Man Two Guvnors, Frankenstein, The Madness of George III, Hamlet, Othello, Henry IV, Timon of Athens, Much Ado About Nothing and The Winter’s Tale. It also features his work on films and other shows in his career, from Sweet Smell of Success to Miss Saigon.
