'Yes, it could help young actors trying to break into the profession, but there's also plenty here for old stagers... you could learn a lot.'
The Stage (August 2007)

'The introduction to this year's edition of the annually updated Actor's Yearbook repeats the well known fact "that an actor's life is not an easy one", but this one-stop shop of information and guidance to both aspiring and established actors to help them negotiate the wealth of opportunities - as well as the minefield of pitfalls - should make it easier.'
