Product Description
V.S. Meyerhold is considered by many to have been the most brilliant director of the 20th century, yet unlike his contemporary Stanislavsky, much of Meyerhold's work remains obscure In this book Jonathan Pritchers explains Meyerhold's often misunderstood "biomechanics". He also traces Meyehold's development through his experiments with realism, symbolism, constructivism and futurism, and follows the political pressures which forced his decline and silence as an artist.
