Description
Directing A Miscellany by Simon Usher is a thought-provoking collection of reflections on life as a theatre director. Spanning four decades of experience, Usher shares his insights with precision and wit, offering a unique perspective on the realities of directing. This book presents aphorisms, apercu, questions, maxims, dialogues, and miniature essays aimed at the vocational rather than the career director. It's not a how-to guide, but rather an exploration of the state of mind required to remain creative in good times and bad. Usher comments extensively on acting, Shakespeare, working with writers and designers, directing techniques, and the trials of collaboration. For those looking for a deeper understanding of the life and work of a theatre director, Directing A Miscellany is an aid to reflection.
