Method or Madness?

by Robert Lewis

Description

A thoughtful and provocative examination of the revolutionary approach to acting known as the Method, this book separates its enduring principles from the myths and excesses that have grown around it. Drawing on firsthand experience as a teacher, director, and pioneering figure in American theater, it explores the relationship between technique, emotion, imagination, and disciplined craft. The result is both a practical guide for actors and a critical assessment of how modern performance should be trained and understood. Clear, candid, and influential, it remains a valuable study of the art and responsibilities of acting.
