This vintage book contains Toby Cole's 1960 guide to acting, "Acting - A
Handbook of the Stanislavski Method". It contains a wealth of invaluable
information pertaining to the practice and teaching of acting, with a
significant focus on the Stanislavski Method. The Stanislavski Method -
also informally known as "method acting" - was contrived by Konstantin
Stanislavski. Having been studied and adopted by some of the most famous
actors of all time, this method has provided the foundations for modern
acting. A fascinating and detailed handbook, "Acting - A Handbook of the
Stanislavski Method" constitutes a veritable must-read for both student
and instructor, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of
allied literature. Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly
hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are
republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality
edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography
of the author.
