Allan Little talks to the acclaimed actor, writer and director
Steven Berkoff. He’s spent over 50 years in the theatre and on
film, rocking the establishment with his outspoken and often
angry views. His work ranges from appearances in A Clockwork
Orange and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; to adaptations of
Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis. He has also written a number of his
own plays – one of which he appeared in at this year’s Edinburgh
Festival Fringe. He believes the art world is letting audiences
down by abandoning serious, quality drama to pursue mass
audiences. So what is theatre – art or entertainment?
