Actor-musicianship is a permanent feature of the musical theatre landscape. Actor-musician shows can be seen from Bradford to Broadway, from village halls to international arena tours. However, with the exception of a couple of academic papers, there has been nothing written about this fascinating area of theatre practice. Jeremy Harrison's book addresses this deficit, operating as both a record of the development of the actor-musician movement and as a practical guide for students, educators, performers and practitioners. It explores the history of actor-musicianship, examining its origins, as well as investigating – and offering guidance on – how this specialist form of music theatre is created. It, in turn, acts as a means of defining an art form that has to date been left to lurk in the shadows of musical theatre; a subset with its own distinctive culture of performer, maker and audience, but as yet no formal recognition as a specialism in its own right. The actor-musician show is multifarious and as such this book targets those interested in mainstream commercial work, as well as alternative and avant-garde theatre practice. The book draws together expertise from a range of disciplines with contributions from many of the leading figures in this field, including performers, directors, teachers, MDs, producers and writers. It also features a foreword by theatre director John Doyle.

Small nations and independence have dominated our headlines for many years now. We look towards other countries' successes in comparison to our own. We watch them chart their own path across the world, flourishing independently. But, what is it about these small states? It is their resilience.This book delves into the present states of resilience in Scotland and Ireland, placing them within the context of historical and contemporary realities. Taking the analysis to new depths, McLeish and Harrison connect the futures of these nations beyond their existing constitutional differences to the broader archipelago that defines their northern and western boundaries.The book contends that Scotland’s current emphasis on independence poses a threat to its resilience, presenting a binary political focus. In contrast, it views Ireland as remarkably successful but acknowledges the need for continued efforts to ensure resilience. Furthermore, the authors see the archipelago as an opportunity for a mosaic of resilient nations to forge new cooperative structures and extend ties with their Nordic neighbours.This book will appeal to citizens interested in independence movements (both Irish and Scottish) alongside readers interested in politics and the relations of small nations.
