Lawson's career also includes performing with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford, tread the boards in the National Theatre and Old Vic and work with a host of celebrated actors and directors in ground-breaking productions like Harry's Game, Mike Leigh's Four Days in July and alongside Gary Oldman in Alan Clarke's The Firm. In charting his remarkable career, Charlie not only shines a light on the less glamorous side of the profession but also recounts a series of riotous and hilarious episodes, featuring a host of well-known partners-in-crime like Adrian Dunbar, Neil Morrissey and Martin Clunes, evoking images of 80s Britain where exuberant optimism clashed with IRA terrorist tensions. Charlie tells with unflinching honesty how infidelity wrecked one marriage, while living through his second-wife's violent struggles with addiction pushed him to the brink of sanity. This memoir offers a raw, humorous, and insightful glimpse into the tumultuous life of a fearless actor.Twitter: @charlie_lawson1Instagram: @charliequintinlawson See less
