Description
'Here then is more word from the master. It is a book for all theatre professionals as well as students. Whether in agreement or disagreement with it, you cannot help being stimulated and enriched by it' - Robert Lewis, Founder of the Actors Studio, USA. In his most famous first book, "An Actor Prepares", Stanislavski dealt with the inner imaginative processes. In the second "Building a Character", he concentrated on the body, the voice and other physical means of expression.In "Creating a Role", the third book, he describes the elaborate preparation that precedes actual performance, with substantial analysis given to Othello and Gogol's, Inspector General. This edition, now reprinted with a new cover at a more accessible price, has stood the test of time for actors all over the world, was the original English language translation and is a classic text for every actor's library. '"Creating a Role" is a brilliant little treatise and a careful reading is worth several lessons in almost any English acting academy' - Charles Marowitz, "The Observer".
