Its like being at a crossroads - a point of absolute; unequivocal change. It makes the blood rush.The play is set in the Theatre Royal; Covent Garden; in 1833. Edmund Kean; the greatest actor of his generation; has collapsed on stage whilst playing Othello. A young black American actor; Ira Aldridge; has been asked to take over the role. But; as the public riot in the streets; how will the cast; critics and audience react to the revolution taking place in the theatre?Written by the 2012 Most Promising Playwright (Evening Standard Awards) Lolita Chakrabarti; Red Velvet uses imagined experiences based on the often-forgotten; but true; story of Ira Aldridge; an African-American actor who; in the nineteenth century; built an incredible reputation on the stages of London and Europe. It premiered at the Tricycle Theatre in October 2012. Ira Aldridge was played by the Oliver award-winning Adrian Lester; who was named best actor for this role in the Critics Circle Theatre Awards.

Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Not worth itBy Paul O HanlonThis book might be ok for absolute beginners (and even then its far from the best offering) but for anybody who has been shooting for a while wont learn much here. A lot of the points arent ways to shoot better photos and are often not well explained. Picking a smaller number of points and explaining them in detail would have worked a lot better. Instead you get things like "make sure your shot is well composed" (not exact quote); which is no use to anybody.
