5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best Directing primer on the market., April 19, 1998
This review is from: The Director's Vision: Play Direction from Analysis to Production (Hardcover)
Dr. Catron's book melds theory with practicality in the most utilitarian Directing primer on the market. Designed, I believe, as a college text, it has strong application at the professional and community theatre levels, better than Cohen/Harrop, John Miles-Brown and Dean & Carra. The only book which comes close to Catron's is Benedetti's The Director at Work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Textbook can't buy used b/c no one sells it back, December 10, 2007
By 
This review is from: The Director's Vision: Play Direction from Analysis to Production (Hardcover)
The text was used for my directing one class in college. It is very straight forward and delves into various aspects of directing. A very well rounded read. I will not be selling this back, and plan on referring to it in the future.
