アマゾンより抜粋

Kenneth MacMillan's ballets are in constant demand by world-famous companies, particularly "Romeo and Juliet", "Manon and Mayerling". However, MacMillan was tormented by an acute sense of being an outsider, at odds with the institutions in which he worked and their conventional expectations of what ballet should be. A real-life Billy Elliot from a Scottish working class family, MacMillan demonstrated a prodigious talent for dancing from an early age. Following the premature death of his mother, the young MacMillan sought an escape route from home and, despite his father's disapproval, secured a place at Sadler's Wells. Paradoxically he found himself crippled by stage-fright during the height of his professional career, leaving him with only one option - choreography. He went on to produce ballets which defied convention and became renowned for challenging audiences. The criticism he received fanned his anxieties but, despite this, MacMillan achieved international acclaim, becoming artistic director of both the Berlin Ballet and the Royal Ballet. On a personal level he found unexpected happiness with his wife and daughter in the later stages of his life, making it all the more tragic when he died suddenly at the age of 62. This stunning biography reveals a complex artist who fiercely guarded his own privacy, whilst his ballets communicated his darkest and most intimate thoughts.

労働者階級出身で母親を早くに亡くして家を出、父親の反対を押し切ってサドラーウエルズに身を置き、既存のバレエ表現と戦ってきたアウトサイダーとしてのマクミランの生き様、その苦労と業績が語られた一冊、というところですかね。
