A celebration of Tim Curry's life’s work - including the iconic Dr.
Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show - and a testament
to his profound impact on the entertainment industry as we know it
today. There are few stars in Hollywood today that can boast the
kind of resume Emmy award-winning actor Tim Curry has built over
the past five decades.From his breakout role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter
in The Rocky Horror Picture Show to his iconic depiction as the
sadistic clown Pennywise in It to his critically acclaimed role as
the original King Arthur in both the Broadway and West End versions
of Spamalot, Curry redefined what it meant to be a “character
actor,” potraying heroes and villains alike with complexity,
nuance, and a genuine understanding of human darkness. He’s had
dozens of roles across movies, TV shows, and musicals, lent his
instantly recognizable voice to dozens of voice roles, audiobooks,
and videogames, and he’s changed the lives of countless fans in the
process.Now, in his memoir, Curry takes readers behind-the-scenes
of his rise to fame from his early beginnings as a military BRAT
with difficult family dynamics, to his formative years in boarding
school and university, to the moment when he hit the stage for the
first time. He goes in-depth about what it was like to work on some
of the most emblematic works of the 20th century, constantly
switching between a camera and a live audience. He also explores
the voicework that defined his later career and provided him with a
chance to pivot after surviving a catastrophic stroke in 2012 that
nearly took his life.With the upcoming 50th anniversary of The
Rocky Horror Picture Show and the 40th anniversary of Clue, there’s
never been a better time for Tim to share his story with the world.
Po stáročiach krutých zápasov a osudových zrád sa sedem mocností,
ktoré vládli v jednej ríši, zdecimovalo natoľko, že im nezostalo
nič iné ako uzatvoriť prímerie. Aspoň navonok sa to tak zdalo.
Niekoľko jedincov si ešte stále robí nárok na Železný trón, ale sú
priveľmi slabí alebo vzdialení, aby sa im to mohlo podariť. Vojna,
ktorá trvala tak dlho, pohltila samu seba. Avšak zanedlho sa v
krehkom prímerí zrodia zradcovia, vydedenci, mrchožrúti, ktorí sa
snažia priživiť na mŕtvych i živých. Ľudské vrany sa zlietajú na
opulentnú hostinu a v Siedmych kráľovstvách sa rodia nové intrigy a
vznikajú nebezpečné aliancie, zatiaľ čo zo zlovestného súmraku
minulých zápasov sa vynárajú prekvapivé postavy. Je to čas, keď
múdri a ctižiadostiví, ale aj zradní a silní sa usilujú pomocou
svojich schopností, moci a mágie prežiť kruté a strašné časy, ktoré
nastali. Je to obdobie, kedy ľudia prostí aj urodzení, bojovníci I
čarodejníci, úkladní vrahovia a mudrci spájajú dohromady a bojujú o
svoje miesto na zemi a svoje životy. Na hostinu sa zletelo množstvo
vrán – ale nasýti sa len niekoľko.
