Maria Aitken: Acting in High Comedy

Acting in High Comedy

The distinguished 1980s BBC series of acting masterclasses featured a stellar line-up of Maria Aitken, Michael Caine, Simon Callow, Brian Cox, Jonathan Miller and Janet Suzman, working with young actors on acting in particular genres. Twenty years later, the ‘masters’ revisit their topics and look back to see how their work and approach have changed – or not – and share their thoughts on contemporary acting with extracts from the original series.
