The Cambridge Introduction to Theatre Directing

The Cambridge Introduction to Theatre Directing by Christopher Innes

Christopher Innes and Maria Shevtsova discuss the methods of rehearsal and staging created by the path-breaking directors of the twentieth century and the twenty-first. They offer a broad overview of the roots of modern directing, and highlight its innovative theatre practices through details of major productions and theoretical principles.

'Anyone seeking a really good one volume overview of the history and practice of directing from the ancient Greeks to today would do well to take a close look at this new volume … a valuable introduction to an immensely complicated field.' Critical Stages
