Alan Rickman: Diaries

Alan Rickman's diaries are a unique invitation into the mind of one of the most beloved actors of our time

Even after his death, Alan Rickman left a legacy of a world-class actor, and his dignity, professionalism and resonant voice continue to be admired by audiences today.

Rickman's diaries describe the extraordinary and the ordinary, told in a worldly, humorous and slightly wry way, while remaining completely honest. The author takes us into his home, on trips with friends around the world, for the preparation of theatre plays and for the making of films by Reason and Emotion, for his breakthrough role in Die Hard, to Robin Hood to the Harry Potter films to the King's Gardener, that he directed.

Beginning in 1993 and ending with the actor's death in 2016, the diaries offer an opportunity to get to know Alan Rickman not only as an actor, but as a friend, traveller, fan, director and ordinary man.
