Overview
A unique volume entirely devoted to "interpretative invention" for the dramatic arts. Dealing with the theater and filmed versions of plays, it concentrates on finding the implied intention of each play, and how to design, direct and act that intent. It takes the form of a critical discussion of modern theater, eschewing conventional approaches, and through the avoidance of jargon and esoteric terminology. Originally published by McGraw-Hill in 1967.
