Every actor and director who enters the orbit of Marowitz's major work will find himself challenged to a deeper understanding of his art and propelled into further realms of exploration on his/her own. Marowitz meditates on all the sacred precepts of theatre practice including auditions, casting, design, rehearsal, actor psychology, dramaturgy, and the text.

This review is from: Directing the Action: Acting and Directing in the Contemporary Theatre (Applause Acting Series) (Paperback)
Anything written by Charles Marowitz has ever written should be included in personal library of a theatre professional. Why his writings are not mandatory as texts in courses is beyond me. I review, at least once a year, each of his books just to keep me on track to doing the best work I can. In every paragraph in every book, there is something of great value to think about, ponder if you will. The man has an amazing mind that never ceases to challeng and illumine. Gordon Goede (gordongoede@aol.com) And you can quote me!

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great tool both for Directors and Actors,
By Gian Paolo Montesini (roseville, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Directing the Action: Acting and Directing in the Contemporary Theatre (Applause Acting Series) (Paperback)
I'm reading this book now for the second time. Charles Marowitz has an interesting style of writing, the kind that you have to stop and think about it for a little while every other page or so. I often go back and re-read some sentences just to make sure I fully understood the whole meaning and the context. It's a very professional view on theatre in all it's aspects. It's not usual to find an author that does not mind sharing his point of view and breaking taboos (I like the way he disagrees with Method acting in some aspects ). This book has helped me in my work as an actor and director.
