He goes in-depth about what it was like to work on some of the most emblematic works of the 20th century, constantly switching between a camera and a live audience. He also explores the voicework that defined his later career and provided him with a chance to pivot after surviving a catastrophic stroke in 2012 that nearly took his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the 50th anniversary of \u003cem\u003eThe Rocky Horror Picture Show\u003c\/em\u003e and the 40th anniversary of \u003cem\u003eClue\u003c\/em\u003e, there's never been a better time for Tim to share his story with the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48234459660524,"sku":"9781804950227","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781804950227-vagabond-1.jpg?v=1787781526","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/vagabond-by-tim-curry-9781804950227","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
