A rare insider's account of the true story behind the
development of the famous Stanislavski method.
Vasili Toporkov was one of the rare outsiders ever to be invited
to join the Moscow Art Theatre. Although already an experienced and
accomplished artist, he was forced to retrain as an actor under
Stanislavski's rigorous guidance." Stanislavski in Rehearsal" is
Toporkov's vivid account of this learning process, offering an
eloquent and jargon-free insight into Stanislavski's legendary
'system' and his method of rehearsal that became known as the
Method of Physical Action. Spanning ten years - from 1928 to 1938 -
Toporkov charts the last crucial years of Stanislavski's work as a
director and offers the only reliable biographical sketch that we
have.
Through Toporkov's account, Stanislavski is revealed as a
multi-faceted personality - funny, furious, kind, ruthless,
encouraging, exacting - waging a war against cliches and quick
answers, inspiring his actors and driving them to despair in his
pursuit of artistic perfection.
