Theatre

David Mamet Price: $27.95

“If theatre were a religion, many of the observations and suggestions in this book might be heretical’

As always, Mamet delivers on his promise, calling for nothing less than the death of the director and the end of acting theory

For Mamet, actors are either good or they are non-actors, and good actors generally work best without the interference of a director, however well-intentioned

Issue plays, political correctness, method actors, impossible directions, Stanislavksy, and elitists all fall under Mamet’s critical gaze

To students, teacher, and directors, who crave a blast of fresh air in a world that can be insular and fearful of change, Theatre throws down a gauntlet that challenges everyone to do better - including Mamet himself

A mischievous manifesto designed to defrock the high priests and challenge the holy bibles of the theatre world
