4.5 stars overall on Amazon (23 reviews)…For actors by an actor of rare subtlety and imagination; for directors by a brilliant versatile director. Richard Boleslavsky’s knowledge of the theatre was based on wide experience. A member of the Moscow Art Theatre and director of its First Studio, he worked in Russia, Germany and America as actor, director and teacher. On Broadway, he produced plays and musical comedies and he was a leading Hollywood director. ————————————————————————————————— “One wants to quote any number of passages for their wit, the gayety of their instruction, the fineness of their perceptions, the good sense they show, their helpfulness and their ever-incisive clarity…The thing for actors to do, whether they are young or old, is to buy this book….It does more to explore the art of acting than any single volume for years.” — John Mason Brow”Under their apparent simplicity and light-heartedness, (the lessons are) profound and to the point. Both beginners and established actors, who take their work seriously, will find stimulation in this book.” — Sir Alec GuinnessENJOY
