In conversation in London

Steven Berkoff in conversation at the Hampstead Theatre, London on 9 Nov 2008.  Steven Berkoff talks to forensic psychotherapist Estela Welldon about "his challenging productions and cutting-edge approach to theatre. They will also discuss his fascination with humanity's darker side, including the villainy of Shakespeare."

"Estela Welldon worked for many years as Consultant Psychiatrist in Psychotherapy at the Portman Clinic. She is also the Founder and Elected Honorary President for Life of the International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy. Connecting Conversations is an ongoing series of events that brings together practitioners from the world of psychoanalysis with leading practitioners from other fields. The events aim to make connections between individuals, organisations, disciplines and ideas."
