BBC Radio Scotland - Stark Talk, Steven Berkoff

Edi Stark talks to actor, writer and director Steven Berkoff.

Edi Stark talks to actor, writer and director Steven Berkoff about his childhood, his children and breaking taboos at the Edinburgh Fringe.

In the first of a new series, Edi is in the east end of London to meet Steven Berkoff, still the enfant terrible of theatre, despite being in his seventies. He reveals the root of his lifelong anger and why theatre has helped, but not cured, what can make him a terrifying presence on and off stage. He discusses his childhood and his own illegitimate children, early days of theatre and breaking taboo forty years ago at the Edinburgh fringe by using the c word repeatedly. As this interview shows, he is far from mellowing in old age.
