Based almost entirely on the author's personal experiences this concise handbook follows a director's journey from the casting process to opening night revealing the hidden or unspoken aspects of play and stage production that are rarely if ever described in theater manuals and textbooks. Paperback Mr. Marowitz discusses topics such as rehearsals characterization blocking tempo-rhythm dramaturgy and actor-and-audience psychology demystifying an art form that is often dealt with only in terms of concepts and ideology rather than the mundane nitty-gritty nuts-and-bolts requirements of just &ldquogetting the show on the road.&rdquo
