Stephen Lang: Beyond Glory: The Architecture of Acting
Stephen Lang speaks about the creative evolution of ‘Beyond Glory’, a solo play that he began working on in 2003 and has performed more than 300 times. At heart, the Play is a meditation on themes of courage, honour, fortitude, and humility. In his fifth decade as a professional actor, ‘Beyond Glory’ represents his most personally meaningful work.
