Stanislavski's 'system' has dominated actor-training in the West
since his writings were first translated into English in the 1920s
and 30s. His systematic attempt to outline a psycho-physical
technique for acting single-handedly revolutionized standards of
acting in the theatre. Until now, readers and students have had to
contend with inaccurate, misleading and difficult-to-read
English-language versions. Some of the mistranslations have
resulted in profound distortions in the way his system has been
interpreted and taught. At last, Jean Benedetti has succeeded in
translating Stanislavski's huge manual into a lively, fascinating
and accurate text in English. He has remained faithful to the
author's original intentions, putting the two books previously
known as An Actor Prepares and Building A Character back together
into one volume, and in a colloquial and readable style for today's
actors. The result is a major contribution to the theatre, and a
service to one of the great innovators of the twentieth century.
This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by the
director Richard Eyre.
