Description
Stanislavski's comprehensive system for acting has shaped the way actors work in the theatre since its initial translation into English in the 1920s and 30s. However, previous translations have often been inaccurate or misleading, leading to misunderstandings of his approach.
A new edition by Jean Benedetti brings Stanislavski's manual back together from two previously separate books, An Actor Prepares and Building A Character, into a single, accessible volume. This translation aims to remain faithful to the author's original intentions, presenting his psycho-physical technique in a clear and readable style.
This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by director Richard Eyre, providing additional context for understanding Stanislavski's work.
