Item description from seller

192pp. Red boards. Gilt lettering on the spine. Minor ding on the lower edge, otherwise a near fine, unmarked copy. Lacks the jacket. "The noted British actress presents an entertaining collection of blistering critics' reviews, contributed by a number of illustrious actors and actresses, directors, producers, and playwrights.Diana Rigg was once the victim of an extremely cruel and personal theatrical review in London (she had a brief nude scene in Abelard and Heloise and the critic said that she was "built like a brick mausoleum with insufficient flying buttresses."). Her response? She wrote to all of the actors she knew and asked them to send her copies of their worst reviews. She compiled this book. The shortest review, I believe, is Dorothy Parker's of Katherine Hepburn in Antony and Cleopatra: "Ms Hepburn's performance as Cleopatra runs the emotional gamut from A to B." Size: Octavo.
