About the Book

Volume 1 of the ActorSpeak collection of works, O For A Muse Of Fire is a collection of quotes about acting and the creative process from the pioneers of theatre craft, sourced from down through the ages and around the world.

With contributions from leading lights of the theatre world in days gone by, from Aristotle to Edwin Booth to Dame Ellen Terry to Mae Busch and more, paired with original pop art renditions of each author's likeness by editor, Sally McLean, this volume makes the perfect addition to any actor or theatrical afficionado's literary collection.

Ideal for providing that moment of inspiration or edification, this easy to access and fully researched volume brings many rediscovered gems of wisdom and hard-won experience back to light for a whole new generation of artists to digest and enjoy.
