This is the book for the mime who wishes to understand and perfect his or her technique. It is also the book for the theater goer who wants to understand mime as an art. Heavy on theory and tradition, it explores many aspects of the art using numerous examples of the physical techniques. The author,who has 40 years of stage and teaching experience, obviously loves and understands mime and wishes to communicate his knowledge to the reader.

After experiencing a 1 week intensive seminar with Stefan at Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio. This book is a fantastic guide to his views and technique of the art-form. I recommend this book for the more knowlegable individuals of the art of mime. And also the spectator who has an interest in understanding this wonderful form of art. Stefan is the best of the best, and his views and concepts are thoroughly respected by Mr. Marceau. If your interests are in the art of mime then this book is definately a must, and I don't mean for your bookshelf this is a "must read" for the mime-lover! ...
