"'A small jewel of a book, a knowleageable introduction to
both
Stanislavski's personal development and to the content and range of
his
writings' "Theatre Journal
"'...shows the System to be a practical process - drama school
students and actors will be grateful for it'" Times Eductational
Supplement
"'A carefully documented study of peak interest and value to every
serious student of acting theory'" Choice
The Stanislavski 'system' is still the only comprehensive method
of
actor training we possess. His theories can be hard to grasp and
many
academic books are impenetrable on the subject. This is a concise
book
for students that presents a readable introduction to the life and
work
of Stanislavski. It shows the slow growth of the 'system', from
its
roots in the tradition of Russian realism, to the various phases
it
went through until the final emergence of the Method of Physical
Action
in the years before his death. It also provides a short account of
the
writing, publication and translation of Stanislavski's books on
acting.
In this edition, Jean Benedetti makes several important updates
in
the light of new material and new translations becoming
available.
