A life across stage and screen

Patrick Stewart’s memoir connects his Yorkshire beginnings with a six-decade career spanning theatre, film and television. Its account ranges from more than forty years with the Royal Shakespeare Company to roles familiar from Star Trek and the X-Men films, alongside comedy and a solo adaptation of A Christmas Carol. The breadth of that work gives the book a career-spanning frame, while its subject is also Stewart’s life beyond a list of performances: the publisher describes it as a portrait of a driven artist moving from modest beginnings to international recognition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of Patrick Stewart’s stage and screen roles
  • Readers interested in actors’ memoirs and long careers in performance
  • Those curious about British theatre alongside film and television work

Book overview

THENEW YORK TIMESANDUSA TODAYBESTSELLER

A renowned and bestselling memoir--written with "insight, truth, and passion" (Sir Ian McKellen)--from iconic, beloved actor and living legend Sir Patrick Stewart.

From his acclaimed stage triumphs to his legendary onscreen work, Sir Patrick Stewart has captivated audiences around the world and across multiple generations in a career spanning six decades with his indelible command of stage and screen. No other British working actor enjoys such career variety, universal respect, and unending popularity, as witnessed through his seminal roles--whether as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek fame, Professor Charles Xavier of Marvel's X-Men hit movie franchise, his more than forty years as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company, his unforgettable one-man show adapted from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, or his comedic work in American Dad!, Ted, Extras, and Blunt Talk, among many others.

Now, he presents his stunning memoir, a revealing portrait of a driven artist whose astonishing life--from his humble beginnings in Yorkshire, England, to the heights of Hollywood and worldwide acclaim--proves a story as exuberant, definitive, and enduring as the author himself.
