Book First Edition
Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. Hardback. Slight foxing to end inside covers. This book is offered as a guide to what has been called the 'unknown theatre', the theatre of the director. Here pioneer directors reveal in their own words those concepts and techniques by which they transformed a theatre ridden by Victorian convention into a dynamic modern medium. Their successors, outstanding contemporary craftsmen, explore the manifold problems of current theatre practice. Here the great directors share with us not only their general theatrical wisdom but also their working methods in preparing some of their famous productions. The three-fold organization of this collection, which juxtaposes history, theory and practice, high-lights the striking change in theatre wrought in a few decades by a handful of visionaries. Disclosing as it does the aesthetics as well as the techniques of the masters, this book is offered as a why-to-do-it as well as a how-to-di-it book. The heritage presented here is more than history; it is the animating spirit which keeps the theatre alive. Illustrated. 341 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
