Berkoff had a troubled childhood and often felt like he didn’t get what he wanted and in 1952 he was sentenced to a stint in borstal for stealing a bike. He used theatre as an escape. Following more training at the Webber Douglas School of Drama, he worked extensively in repertory theatre in England and Scotland - doing every job from understudy to stage management. In 1968 he formed his own company, the London Theatre Group.
