The Director and the Stage by Edward Braun

Beginning with the triple impulses of Naturalism, symbolism and the grotesque, the bulk of the book concentrates on the most famous directors of this century - Stanislavski, Reinhardt, Graig, Meyerhold, Piscator, Brecht, Artuaud and Grotowski. Braun's guide is more practical than theoretical, delineating how each director changed the tradition that came before him.

At the University of Bristol, Edward Braun is Emeritus Professor of Drama. In 1969, he edited Meyerhold on Theatre, the first English-language collection of Meyerhold's writings, and in 1979, he released The Theatre of Meyerhold, his major critical review. In 1982, he wrote his first book, The Director & the Stage.
