About James Frain's Theatre Work
JF On The Homecoming -- "To interrogate this as a naturalistic play is to miss it; You sort of have to play it as a classic play disguised as a naturalistic one. It's normal speech, but it's poetic. It's funny but brutal; devastating but hilarious."
On Career Highlights --
"On stage,
Other People
at the Royal Court was a highlight. Christopher Shinn is a wonderful writer.
He's got a new play coming up at the Court, called
Where Do We Live
, that features two of the same characters from
Other People
. It's set just before and just after 11 September and sounds fascinating."
On
King Lear
--
"I love the play and Edmund is a great part. I also wanted to be part of the
whole 'Almeida moment' under Jonathan Kent and Ian McDiarmid, and this was the
last chance to do it. One of my first jobs was as acting ASM (assistant stage
manager) at the Almeida and it was always my ambition to return. "

Product Description
Broadway production stage manager Roy Harris has worked with some of the most accomplished actors, directors, designers, technicians and atage doormen working in the theatre. For the past ten years, he has hosted brunches before the Sunday matinees in which the aforementioned artists shared their culinary gifts, thus adding "Chef" to their resumes. In his third book for BC/EFA involving theatre and food, Harris has compiled 88 recipes from these delightful brunches, adding anecdotes about the chef , the dish and the production, too. "Chefs" include Cynthia Nixon, John Lithgow, Jill Clayburgh, John Dossett, James Frain and Laura Linney. His previous cookbook, More Recipes and ReminiscenceM, is also available in our store.
