'Essential reading for any young actor' Dame Maggie Smith
Competition for acting work is fierce and talent is not necessarily
enough. Actors need all the help they can get with all aspects of
the profession. Now in its fifth edition, completely revised and
updated, this practical, comprehensive guide contains invaluable
information and advice to enable actors to succeed in the business.
Written with honesty, humour and thoroughness, An Actor's Guide to
Getting Work draws on the author's rich experience in the field to
offer advice to both the novice and the seasoned performer. New
material in this fifth edition includes what drama schools are
looking for, approaching Shakespeare for audition, professional
email etiquette, using the internet as a self-marketing tool, and
many more useful checklists and updated insights into the
profession.
A classic bestseller by one of the most important theatre
practitioners of the 20th and early 21st centuries. This handbook
has sold over 90,000 copies to students, teachers and theatre
makers, giving them a broad range of theatre exercises to use in
classrooms, rehearsals and community projects. Makes social and
community theatre fun, engaging and easily accessible for a broad
audience. No other book sets out all of Boal's methods in one
place, not least in such a clear, practical manner.
