Creating A Role (Bloomsbury Revelations)

Creating A Role is the third book - alongside the international bestseller An Actor Prepares and Building A Character - in the series of influential translations that introduced Stanislavski's acting 'system' to the English-speaking world. Here Stanislavski describes the elaborate preparation that an actor must undergo before the actual performance itself. The book includes the director's analysis of such works as Othello and Gogol's Inspector General.
