His systematic attempt to outline a psycho-physical technique for acting single-handedly revolutionized standards of acting in the theatre.  Until now  readers and students have had to contend with inaccurate  misleading and difficult-to-read English-language versions. Some of the mistranslations have resulted in profound distortions in the way his system has been interpreted and taught. At last  Jean Benedetti has succeeded in translating Stanislavskis huge manual into a lively  fascinating and accurate text in English. He has remained faithful to the authors original intentions  putting the two books previously known as An Actor Prepares and Building A Character back together into one volume  and in a colloquial and readable style for todays actors.  The result is a major contribution to the theatre  and a service to one of the great innovators of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45280077512757,"sku":"ByrdShop_041555120X","price":61.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415551205.jpg?v=1780619543","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/an-actors-work-a-students-diary-9780415551205","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
