The Tome of the Unknown Actor
Christine Ozanne (The Original Shakespeare Company London UK)
Christine Ozanne? I know your face…but, um, remind me, what have I seen you in? For ‘unknown’ jobbing actors, this is the most frequently asked question, and in this amusing antidote to celebrity…the perils and pleasures of being an ‘unknown’ are explored. Ozanne obeys her father’s instructions to go and collect some memories , as she sets off for RADA, and from her film debut in 1958 in Carry on Nurse, to the 2016 sitcom Upstart Crow, she describes many hilarious situations working with the great and the good during the past 58 years in film, theatre, radio and television. Revealing some acting clues in Shakespeare’s text, Ozanne reports on the three productions at The Globe, presented by The Original Shakespeare Company, which she co-founded with her partner, Patrick Tucker. Working abroad led them to some exotic places, and the often precarious adventures are chronicled in this memoir. This thoroughly entertaining read is also a homage to every individual who has beavered away in the business without fame or fortune: The Unknown Actor.
