‘Ken taught us to be dangerous, to abandon any sense of failure and to take risks – that’s where to find creativity. A lesson we can never stop learning.’ Orlando Bloom
‘The classes with Ken at Guildhall, I consider to be the most important part of the acting training. They are exercises in patience, unpredictability and encouraging students to make utter fools of themselves – vital for any actor embarking on a life in the profession.’ Michelle Dockery
‘Ken’s classes were some of the most interesting that I was lucky enough to attend at drama school. He opened the mind to what acting could be.’ Ewan McGregor
Includes a foreword by Damian Lewis.
