5.0 out of 5 stars A long overdue reprieve for Strasberg, February 24, 2008
By John Bray (Louisiana, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
David Krasner has offered a collection of essays which have successfully answered my question, "why does everyone hate Method Acting?" I have often chalked it up to an unfair bias: Stella Adler spoke to Stanislavski, who did not appreciate Strasberg's approach to acting. So many acting instructors (Grotowski, Adler, Meisner) have adapted and moved beyond Stanislavski's (constantly changing) point of view in terms of how to act in a committed, truthful fashion, and yet Strasberg is regularly crucified in classrooms. As an acting teacher, I have tried to fight against this. It did not help when my department chair at one university I was teaching as an adjunct at had me use of Robert Barton's poorly researched "Acting On-Stage and Off" in my classroom. It was an uphill battle against an unfair bias (in print, no less, tipping the scales against my objections). When someone praises the "master" Stanislavski's work, we must ask "which phase of Stanislavski?," for the man changed his mind at every corner. Stanislavski was a man who experimented. Several members of The Group Theatre created their own interpretation of, added their own unique voice to, and created something out of Stanislavski's research from various points in his luminous career. Strasberg did not "misinterpret" Stanislavski. The Method is uniquely his own. Thank you, David Krasner and essayists for creating this long overdue book. I was worried I would have to write it!
