Steven Berkoff

    August 3, 1937

    Steven Berkoff is an English actor, writer, and director, renowned for his intense portrayals. His early dramatic works, deeply rooted in adaptations of Kafka, delve into nightmarish psychological landscapes and cultivate a disturbing sense of alienation. Berkoff later pioneered a distinct style known as 'total theatre,' characterized by its raw, physical intensity and confrontational aesthetic. Critics describe his work as 'in yer face,' capable of provoking extreme reactions from audiences due to its visceral power and unflinching exploration of difficult themes.
