This is the first English translation of Michael Chekhov's
two-volume autobiography, combining The Path of the Actor (1927)
and extensive extracts from his later volume Life and Encounters.
Full of illuminating anecdotes and insightful observations
involving prominent characters from the MAT and the European
theatre of the early twentieth century, Chekhov takes us through
events in his acting career and personal life, from his childhood
in St. Petersburg until his emigration to Latvia and Lithuania in
the early 1930s. Accompanying Chekhov's witty, penetrating, and
immensely touching accounts are extensive and authoritative notes
compiled by leading Russian Chekhov scholar, Andrei Kirillov.
Anglo-Russian trained actor Bella Merlin provides a useful hands-on
overview of how the contemporary practitioner might utilise and
develop Chekhov's ideas. Chekhov was arguably one of the greatest
actors of the twentieth century. His life made a huge impact on his
profession, and his actor-training techniques inspired many a
Hollywood legend - including such actors as Anthony Hopkins and
Jack Nicholson -while his books outlining his teaching methods and
philosophy of acting are still bestsellers today The Path of the
Actor is an extraordinary document which allows us unprecedented
access into the life, times, mind and soul of a truly extraordinary
man.
