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 Revolutionised Standards Of Acting In The Theatre. Jean Benedetti Has Succeeded In Translating Stanislavski's Huge Manual Into A Lively, Fascinating And Accurate Text In English. He Has Remained Faithful To The Author's Original Intentions, Putting The Two Books Previously Known As An Actor Prepares And Building A Character Back Together Into One Volume, And In A Colloquial And Readable Style For Today's Actors.--jacket.
