Description
Thomas Ostermeier's directorial method is presented in this comprehensive volume. For the first time, his approach to staging dramatic texts is made available as a toolkit for understanding and enacting advanced contemporary strategies. The book includes seminal essays, lectures, and manifestos translated into English, over 140 photos from Arno Declair's archive, and in-depth casebook studies of two productions: An Enemy of the People (2012) and Richard III (2015). Contributions from Ostermeier's actors and collaborators provide insight into how his principles are put into practice. This richly illustrated volume offers an extraordinary insight into Ostermeier's working methods, making it a valuable resource for practitioners and scholars of contemporary European theatre.
