Stanislavski’s ‘system’ has ruled actor-training within the West due to the fact that his writings have been first translated into English within the Nineteen Twenties and 30s. His systematic try and define a psycho-physical process for appearing single-handedly revolutionized criteria of appearing within the theatre.



Until now, readers and scholars have needed to deal with misguided, deceptive and difficult-to-read English-language models. a few of the mistranslations have led to profound distortions within the approach his approach has been interpreted and taught. finally, Jean Benedetti has succeeded in translating Stanislavski’s large handbook right into a full of life, interesting and actual textual content in English. He has remained devoted to the author's unique intentions, placing the 2 books formerly referred to as An Actor Prepares and Building A Character again jointly into one quantity, and in a colloquial and readable variety for cutting-edge actors.



The result's an enormous contribution to the theatre, and a provider to at least one of the nice innovators of the 20 th century.
