Just Adrian

Just Adrian

by Adrian Mitchell

Just Adrian is a patchwork tour of a legendary playwright, poet and activist’s life in the theatre. It is a fascinating first-hand account of groundbreaking productions featuring figures like Kenneth Tynan, Peter Brook and Peter Hall as well as adventures in alternative theatre. These writings explore Adrian’s many interests, from drama for children to musical theatre, in a voice that combines playful irreverence with compassion and insight. Taken together, they are a funny, moving testament to a great theatre lover.

Press Comment:

“A window into the soft and beautiful genius that was Adrian Mitchell.”
Camden New Journal

“A scrapbook [compiled] to reflect one man's love affair with the theatre… a splendid read that pays homage to an unusual, dedicated man” –
British Theatre Guide

“A tribute, an autobiography and a quirky portrait …. Just Adrian is a slim and elegant book with all the tactile pleasure you don’t get from reading on an e-book reader.” – The Stage
