Description: LIKE NEW!! A Practical Handbook for the Actor By Melissa Bruder Excellent condition, like new! About this productProduct InformationThissimple and essential book about the craft of acting describes a technique developed and refined by the authors, all of them young actors, in their work with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet, actor W. H. Macy, and director Gregory Mosher. A Practical Handbook for the Actor is written for any actor who has ever experienced the frustrations of acting classes that lacked clarity and objectivity, and that failed to provide a dependable set of tools. An actor's job, the authors state, is to "find a way to live truthfully under the imaginary circumstances of the play." The ways in which an actor can attain that truth form the substance of this eloquent book.Product IdentifiersPublisherKnopfISBN-100394744128ISBN-139780394744124eBay Product ID (ePID)182776Product Key FeaturesFormatTrade PaperbackPublication Year1986LanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight4 OzWidth5.3in.Height0.3in.Length8in.Additional Product FeaturesDewey Decimal792/.028Age LevelTradeCopyright Date1986AuthorRobert Previto, Nathaniel Pollack, Madeleine Olnek, Scott Zigler, Melissa BruderNumber of Pages112 PagesLc Classification NumberPn2062.P73 1986Reviews"This is the best book on acting written in the last twenty years." --from the introduction by David Mamet "Simple, clear and consise--just what was needed. A deeply interesting and valuable piece of work." --Sidney Lumet "This terse and lucid handbook might well be for the actor what Strunk and White's The Elements of Style is for the writer." --John Guare "This book is wonderful. It is clear, direct, and to the point, with none of the hokum that accompanies most books on the theatre, especially about acting. I learned an enormous amount." --Robert Benton "This beautifully written book offers a clear guide to the most profound acting technique I know. Every young actor should read it, re-read it, and then keep it under his pillow." --Lindsay CrouseLccn85-040875
