Jeremy Brett - Playing A Part

"Holmes appears to be this rather cold and distant figure who holds the rest of humanity at arm’s length. But deep down I believe–much deeper down–he is a man of tremendous sensitivity and feeling.” –Jeremy Brett.

Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes by Maureen Whittaker is an updated version of the Granada Sherlock Holmes section of the definitive performance biography, Jeremy Brett Playing a Part. Releasing for the Holidays, what better gift for that Sherlockian, or Holmesian, or Brettian fan on your list.

With a forward by David Burke, who portrayed and defined Jeremy’s first Watson and an afterward by Linda Pritchard. This book takes you through the decade that was the Granada Sherlock Holmes Series. The Secret of Sherlock Holmes, the successful play commissioned, created, written (with Jeremy Paul), and spectacularly performed by Jeremy Brett in the title role. With comments by Jeremy Brett, David Burke, Edward Hardwicke, Michael Cox, Rosalie Williams, John Hawkesworth, friends, cast members, and media of the day, and much, much more. This is a portrait of a magically gifted actor and the character he defined as more difficult to play than Hamlet or Macbeth.

,,Holmes pare sa fie aceasta figura destul de rece si indepartata care tine restul umanitatii la distanta de brat. Dar in adancul meu cred - mult mai adanc in jos - ca este un om cu o sensibilitate si un sentiment extraordinar." - Jeremy Brett.
