An Actor's Work

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._x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ At last, Jean Benedetti has succeeded in translating Stanislavski’s huge manual into a lively, fascinating and accurate text in English. The result is a major contribution to the theatre, and a service to one of the great innovators of the twentieth century._x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by the director Richard Eyre.
