If you ever thought that being an actor was glamorous or that writing television reviews was fun, then this book will set you straight.In 2000, Simon Hughes' (you know him, he was the face of a well-known bank) embarked on a national tour of A Midsummer Night's Dream with the Bell Shakespeare Company while Simon Hughes (the TV critic) kept up his regular column. This is the story of that journey. Inner travelogue meets outer monologue as Simon's two professions collide on the road in this witty and irreverent expos of high art from under a low brow. With a Shakespeare-meets-Big Brother plot and a cast of fascinating and horrifying characters, this drama is all the more scary because none of it is made up. Didn't You Use to Be Someone? is a reality tale of an actor's life. It will do for theatre what Kitchen Confidential did for restaurants.Hughes, Simon is the author of 'Didn't You Used to Be Someone?', published 2002 under ISBN 9781865085807 and ISBN 1865085804.
