I’m starting a series on important acting/improv/comedy books.  This is the first.Enjoy BoggyDescription:A Dream of Passion is the long-awaited definitive work on acting and the training of actors by one of the greatest figures in twentieth-century theatre, the late Lee Strasberg. Known as the father of the Method — the famous system by which the vast majority of actors in this country both learn and practice their art — and as the artistic heir to the great Russian actor and director Constantin Stanislavsky, Strasberg taught generations of America’s finest actors and actresses, including John Garfield, Marlon Brando, Geraldine Page, Paul Newman, Eva Marie Saint, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Fonda.  Steve McQueen, James Dean, Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, Al Pacino, Dennis Hopper, and coundess others. Many have tried to explain Strasberg’s work and the Method in numerous books and articles, but here for the first time in his own book, Strasberg speaks for himself.”The human being who acts is the human being who lives.”
