This vintage book contains Toby Cole's 1960 guide to acting, "Acting - A Handbook of the Stanislavski Method". It contains a wealth of invaluable information pertaining to the practice and teaching of acting, with a significant focus on the Stanislavski Method. The Stanislavski Method - also informally known as "method acting" - was contrived by Konstantin Stanislavski. Having been studied and adopted by some of the most famous actors of all time, this method has provided the foundations for modern acting. A fascinating and detailed handbook, "Acting - A Handbook of the Stanislavski Method" constitutes a veritable must-read for both student and instructor, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
