Connecting Conversations: Steven Berkoff

Showing at: Hampstead Theatre

Box Office: 020 7722 9301

As part of the Connecting Conversations series, one of the most provocative voices in British theatre, Steven Berkoff, discusses his work with forensic psychotherapist Estela Welldon.

The prolific director, actor and writer, whose work ranges from Hamlet to Octopussy, will discuss his challenging productions and cutting-edge approach to theatre. He will also explore his fascination with humanity's darker side, including the villainy of Shakespeare. Are characters such as Iago, Macbeth and Shylock inherently evil, are they forced by circumstances to commit evil deeds or are they the product of an evil society?

The event is part of the Connecting Conversations series, which sees practitioners from the world of psychoanalysis talk to people involved in the fields of theatre, art, history, sociology, anthropology and social policy.
