An Actor's Work on a Role is Konstantin Stanislavski's exploration of the rehearsal process, applying the techniques of his seminal actor training system to the task of bringing truth to one's chosen role.
Originally published over half a century ago as Creating a Role, this book was the third in a planned trilogy - after An Actor Prepares and Building a Character, now combined in An Actor's Work - in which Stanislavski sets out his psychological, physical and practical vision of actor training.
This new translation from renowned scholar Jean Benedetti not only includes Stanislavski's original teachings, but is also furnished with invaluable supplementary material in the shape of transcripts and notes from the rehearsals themselves, reconfirming 'The System' as the cornerstone of actor training.
