For anyone simply interested in how a director works, here is the distillation of the 40 years’ experience of a well-known director in the professional theatre. The director of a play will work according to his own instinct, imagination and personal attributes, and in this book John Counsell offers the director a starting-point from which to begin to work out his own sense of direction. The heart of the matters must always be the relationship between the director and the other “parties to the play” – the author, designer, actor and audience. Suggestions are given on choosing and evaluating plays, on casting, rehearsing, designing, lighting and budgeting – and on how to stimulate and guide the talents of all the people concerned. The whole approach is practical, balanced and down-to-earth. “Play Direction” is, in fact, good reading for anyone interested, whether as a participant or as a spectator, in how a play is put on the stage.
