5.0 out of 5 stars The Pocket Stanislavski, September 19, 2000

By	Dr. Susan Stangl (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I first learned about "the Method" years ago as a high school student. Since then, I have read many books discussing Stanislaski's acting techniques, including his own rather dense versions translated from the Russian. None of them have distilled the essence of his "objective-problem-action" triad better than this book. Also included are eight genderless scenes with three different sets of objectives. After working with these (or other objectives of your own choosing), the value of his system is crystal clear. This book is a must for working actors, acting teachers and acting students alike.
