If theatre were a religion, explains David Mamet in his opening
chapter, 'many of the observations and suggestions in this book
might be heretical'. As always, Mamet delivers on his promise: in
Theatre, the acclaimed author of Glengarry Glen Ross and Speed the
Plow, calls for nothing less than the death of the director and the
end of acting theory. For Mamet, actors are either good or they are
non-actors, and good actors generally work best without the
interference of a director, however well-intentioned. Issue plays,
political correctness, method actors, impossible directions,
Stanislavksy, and elitists all fall under Mamet's critical gaze. To
students, teacher, and directors, who crave a blast of fresh air in
a world that can be insular and fearful of change, Theatre throws
down a gauntlet that challenges everyone to do better, including
Mamet himself. From iconic and idiosyncratic director and
playwright David Mamet, a mischievous manifesto designed to defrock
the high priests and challenge the holy bibles of the theatre
world.
