The Stanislavski 'system' is still the only comprehensive method of

actor training we possess. His theories can be hard to grasp and many

academic books are impenetrable on the subject. This is a concise book

for students that presents a readable introduction to the life and work

of Stanislavski. It shows the slow growth of the 'system', from its

roots in the tradition of Russian realism, to the various phases it

went through until the final emergence of the Method of Physical Action

in the years before his death. It also provides a short account of the

writing, publication and translation of Stanislavski's books on acting.

In this edition, Jean Benedetti makes several important updates in

the light of new material and new translations becoming available.
