Summary:

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.
