Reviews

[Carnicke's] expertise is evident in the glossary, which gives clear and specific definitions of key Stanislavsky terms that many acting books treat with an unfortunate lack of precision. The result is an authoritative and meticulously researched book that deserves a primary place on the bookshelves of all theatre artists.
