He directed both the London and Broadway productions of Miss Saigon, each of which ran for ten years. He directed Alan Bennett's The Madness of George III on both stage and screen. In short: He is one of today's most successful and admired theatrical impresarios.In Balancing Acts, Hytner gives us a detailed behind-the-scenes look at his creative process.
