Reviews

Critically acclaimed Branagh, 28, details his career, which has so far included a stint with the Royal Shakespeare Company, television stardom and direction of his own role in a film version of Henry V . ``His book has charm because of the delight he takes in the theater and in working with such great actors as Derek Jacobi and Paul Scofield,'' said PW.
