This book in my view puts to rest the decades long debate about what " method acting " is. IN HIS OWN WORDS, Strasberg explains that these are not the be all and end all for acting, but exercises for unlocking the creative abilities of the INDIVIDUAL ACTOR ! Absorb what you need from it and put the rest on the shelf for later.
Strasberg was my training. This book only touches on the brilliance of this incredible man. He transformed the way actors train and how they cope with the "actors problems" This is a nice little start. I also recommended reading the Strasberg Notes by Lola Cohen. And then training with her at the Institute in NYC. If you want to work as an actor, this is a great route to go.
Great product and fast shipping!Couldn't be happier.
