Reviews
"This is the best book on acting written in the last twenty years." --from the introduction by David Mamet "Simple, clear and consise--just what was needed. A deeply interesting and valuable piece of work." --Sidney Lumet "This terse and lucid handbook might well be for the actor what Strunk and White's The Elements of Style is for the writer." --John Guare "This book is wonderful. It is clear, direct, and to the point, with none of the hokum that accompanies most books on the theatre, especially about acting. I learned an enormous amount." --Robert Benton "This beautifully written book offers a clear guide to the most profound acting technique I know. Every young actor should read it, re-read it, and then keep it under his pillow." --Lindsay Crouse

Synopsis
For anyone who has ever wanted to take an acting class, "this is the best book on acting written in the last twenty years" (David Mamet, from the Introduction). This book describes a technique developed and refined by the authors, all of them young actors, in their work with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet, actor W. H. Macy, and director Gregory Mosher. A Practical Handbook for the Actor is written for any actor who has ever experienced the frustrations of acting classes that lacked clarity and objectivity, and that failed to provide a dependable set of tools. An actor's job, the authors state, is to "find a way to live truthfully under the imaginary circumstances of the play." The ways in which an actor can attain that truth form the substance of this eloquent book., This simple and essential book about the craft of acting describes a technique developed and refined by the authors, all of them young actors, in their work with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet, actor W. H. Macy, and director Gregory Mosher. A Practical Handbook for the Actor is written for any actor who has ever experienced the frustrations of acting classes that lacked clarity and objectivity, and that failed to provide a dependable set of tools.

However, Item did not ship until 30+ days after the order was placed — and here’s the crazy part, that delay was intentional as that was the date they were planning to send it to me when I contacted the to get an update on my order. I’m giving these guys an eBay award — slowest shippers on eBay (at least that I’ve come across).
