Why do actors act? If it's only \"escapism\", what is it we are escaping from? This book sets about answering these questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was born in Manchester in 1934. After school I trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and worked for seven years as a professional actor, with Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop and London Old Vic Company, touring extensively in Europe (including two seasons at the Moscow Arts Theatre). I still act occasionally on TV. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In 1963 I became an Anglican priest, and worked from 1973 to 1990 as wholetime Chaplain of a large old-fashioned psychiatric hospital in the North of England. During this time I wrote several books, mainly about Christian ritual - being both an actor and a clergyman - and life in a mental hospital - being both staff member and ex-patient: My work as a liturgiologist gained me a Higher Doctorate at London University, and I also hold doctorates in Sociology (Leeds), Implicit Religion (CNAA) and Dramatherapy Research (Leeds Metropolitan University). Currently I am working privately as a psychotherapist, and I am on the British Psychological Society's 'Register of Psychologists Specialising in Psychotherapy' (Senior Practitioner).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 12, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52710436897075,"sku":"9781412081078","price":29.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/b1YzSnVOT1Q1aldlM09Pa28xMmlQQT09.webp?v=1763492492","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/healing-theatre-how-plays-change-lives-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
