Stanislavski's legacy : a collection of comments on a variety of aspects of an actor's art and life (Rev. and updated ed)

This handbook is a companion volume to Stanislavski's three teaching books, "An Actor Prepares", "Building a Character" and "Creating a Role".

It is a selection of articles, speeches, notes and memoirs written between 1898, when the Moscow Art Theatre opened, and his death in 1938.

Among the items are a series of letters on the interpretation of "Othello", the long and affectionate article "Memoirs of Chekhov" and a final section in which Stanislavski envisages the theatre and actors of the future.
