From Library Journal:
A study of the influential Russian actor/director. Stanislavski became a serious professional actor in the 1890s and established the Moscow Art Theatre. He studied and analyzed acting technique in order to develop his complex system to help actors find internal motivation for their roles. Stanislavski and his system became known worldwide, and he was a cult figure until his death in 1938. The first major English-language biography of Stanislavski in nearly 40 years, this is thoroughly researched and dense with quotes, many from original Russian sources. An important addition to theater collections, although the dry academic style will limit its audience to serious theater students. Benedetti has also written Stanislavski: An Introduction. A PBS special on Stanislavski is scheduled to air this spring, and Routledge will be releasing new editions of Stanislavski's own texts then, too.Ed. Marcia L.

"Drawing on newly available Russian-language sources, Benedetti limns a mercurial, uncompromising, possessed director who expected his colleagues to switch gears as quickly as he did. Regrettably, this book is solid, meticulous theater history but frustratingly dull biography," said PW. Photos.
