Style for Actors is an award-winning handbook and the definitive
guide to roles in historical drama. Anyone who has ever struggled
with capes, fans, swords, doublets and crinolines should make this
third edition their constant companion. The past is a foreign
country, and this outstanding book is concerned with exploring it
from the actor's point of view. Specific guides to each major
period give readers a clear map to discover a range from Greek,
Elizabethan, Restoration and Georgian theatre to more contemporary
stylings, including Futurism, Surrealism and Postmodernism. New
material in this edition covers Commedia dell'arte and non-Western
forms of theatre, theatrical fusion and developments in musicals
and Shakespeare. The book's references, images, resource lists and
examples have all been updated to support today's diverse
performers. Robert Barton takes great care to present the actor
with the roles and genres that will most commonly confront them.
Containing a huge resource of nearly 150 exercises, suggestions for
scene study and applications not only for theatrical performance
but also for stylistic challenges in the reader's own offstage
life, this book is an invaluable resource for students and
practitioners of acting and drama.
