The thing that I had saved up for myself and wanted most to bring off was a fully fledged professional production of Hamlet at the Royal Shakespeare Theater in Stratford.
The first big break was winning a scholarship to go to Cambridge University. I was very lucky, because my parents couldn`t have afforded a university education for me. Without a scholarship I couldn`t possibly have gone.
So, through all that early professional career I would occasionally do a musical, a pantomime or a play with songs. The next stop would be a Shakespeare, or an Ibsen, or a play by a brand new writer who had never done anything in the theater before.
