The Actor's Work on Himself

The famous «Stanislavski System» was developed by Konstantin Sergeevich in the early last century and is still considered the most successful theory of stage art. Many well-known actors in theater and cinema, from Marilyn Monroe to Oleg Yankovsky, have used the acting techniques outlined by Stanislavski in his main theoretical book «The Actor's Work on Himself». Reading this outstanding work, in which, in addition to the theoretical part, the reader will find many fascinating theatrical stories, promises to be quite engaging, thanks to the vivid style of presentation and the undeniable literary talent of the author.
