Product Overview
An Actors Work on a Role is Konstantin Stanislavskys classic exploration of the rehearsal process, applying the techniques of his seminal actor training system to the task of bringing life and truth to ones role.
Originally published over half a century ago as Creating a Role, this book became the third in a trilogy after An Actor Prepares and Building a Character, which are now combined in a newly translated volume called An Actors Work. In these books, now foundational texts for actors, Stanislavsky sets out his psychological, physical and practical vision of actor training.
This new translation from renowned writer and critic Jean Benedetti not only includes Stanislavskis original teachings, but is also furnished with invaluable supplementary material in the shape of transcripts and notes from the rehearsals themselves, reconfirming The System as the cornerstone of actor training.
