Orson Welles; One Man Band

Talking about the third volume of his epic survey of Orson Welles' life and work, Simon Callow probes into one of the most complex artists of the twentieth century. He examines the triumphs and failures of an ambitious one-man assault on one medium after another - theatre, radio, film, television, even, at one point, ballet. In each Welles' radical approach opened up new directions and hitherto un-glimpsed possibilities. Simon Callow will delve into what it was like to be around Welles, and what it was to be him.
