From getting his big break as Third Shepherd in the school nativity play, to mistaking a Hollywood star for an estate agent, Hugh Bonneville creates a vivid picture of a career on stage and screen.
What The Reviewers Say
Louis Bayard,
The Washington Post
Winning and becomingly modest.
Christina Patterson,
The Sunday Times (UK)
Charmingly self-deprecating.
Rachel Cooke,
The Observer (UK)
If collapsing into laughter is what you need at the moment, then Playing Under the Piano could be the book for you. As a genre, actors’ memoirs are usually to be treated with utmost suspicion; I find most of them gruesome.
