Summary
This work explores the extraordinary legacy that Konstantin Stanislavsky's system of actor training has left on acting in the U.S. The author outlines the journey of Stanislavsky's theories through twentieth-century American history, from the early U.S. tours of the Moscow Art Theater to the ongoing impact of "The System" on modern American acting. This fascinating study by a leading theater critic and practitioner provides hundreds of original acting exercises, used by the pivotal U.S. figures who developed Stanislavsky's teachings, such as Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, and Bobby Lewis. By going back to these primary sources, the author cuts through the myths and misapprehensions which have built up over time.
