Acting
for Theatre
 Different Every Night: Freeing the Actor
Mike Alfreds
This book is a culmination of a lifetime's work in the theatre. In
it, Mike Alfreds dares to do what very few directors other than Stanislavsky
have done: he takes us into the rehearsal room and describes an immensely
detailed methodology for the actor to bring the text to life, and, crucially,
to keep it alive right up to the final performance. Indeed, he demonstrates
that by investing in the truth of every moment, the actor can ensure that
a performance will be 'different every night.' Softcover, 362 pp. $37.95.
 Acting: Working in the Theatre
Robert Emmet Long
For the first time in the thirty-year history of the Working in the Theatre seminars,
this volume gathers the insights of more than 100 great performers. Here is a
book for students, actors, and others in the profession, as well as anyone with
a passion for the theatre. The humor, art, grace, and dedication conveyed by
these artists transform lives every night. Now, they speak directly to us about
what it is really like to be working in the theatre. Softcover, 174 pp. $18.95.
 The Actor and the Target
Declan Donnellan
The exciting young Irish director provides a fresh and radical approach
to acting. It is a scalpel to the persistent fears of " I don't
know what I'm doing." " I
don't know who I am."" I don't know what I'm playing." "...
cuts open every generalisation about acting and draws out gleamingly fresh specifics." Peter
Brook. Softcover, 276 pp. $22.95.
