Direction by Simon Shepherd
Is directing an art? Do directors need to be trained? What do directors actually do? These questions and more are answered in this accessibly written survey of the art of theatre direction. Its broad scope ranges across the theatres of both America and Europe, looking at practices from Stanislavski up to the present day.
'A solid, eminently useful text that will awaken curiosity, orient future study, and provoke classroom discussion' - James Peck, Associate Professor, Department of Theatre and Dance, Muhlenberg College, USA
