Acting in America has staggered to a dead end. Every year tens of
thousands of aspiring actors pursue the Hollywood grail and chant
the familiar strains of the Stanislavski "Method" in classrooms and
studios across the nation. The initial liberating spirit of
Stanislavski's experiments has long ago withered into rigid
patterns of inhibitions and emotional introspection. According to
Richard Hornby, the Method now "shackles American acting". With his
iconoclastic new work, The End of Acting, Richard Hornby
dismantles, tenet by tenet, the American Method as promulgated by
Lee Strasberg and other pretenders to the Stanislavski dynasty.
Hornby separates the myth from the Method in his exploration of
Stanislavski's original initiatives and the proprietary feud over
his theories which continues even today.
