Stanislavski: An Introduction, Revised and Updated

Using much original material not previously known in the West, Jean Benedetti's portrait of this remarkable man captures his impatient genius and brings to life Stanislavski's most famous productions including, among others the premieres of Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters, The Cherry Orchard and The Lower Depths. With the insight of a practitioner, Benedetti builds a fascinating picture of the evolution of the "System," challenging its misconceptions in the West and providing a unique introduction to Stanislavski's own works.
