It provides detailed assistance with each aspect of the varied challenges facing all theatre directors, and does so with startling clarity. It will inspire everyone, from the beginner just starting out to the experienced practitioner looking to reinvigorate their practice.

      • preparing improvizations
      • Twelve Golden Rules for working with actors
      • managing the transition from rehearsal room to theatre
      • analyzing your work after a run has ended.

      Each chapter concludes with a summary of its critical points, making this an ideal reference work for both directors and actors at any stage of their development.
