[Van Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

Indispensable for theater majors, especially actors and actresses.

[Algernon · Rating 4 out of 5]

My teacher's teacher was Bobby Lewis, who had studied with Stanislavsky and was a contemporary of Lee Strasberg and Uta Hagen. This book is comprised of lectures by Lewis on the art of acting, and not letting the notion of a 'method' interfere.

Lewis defends and explains why method acting is vital and necessary for any actor with hilarious wit and well formulated research and examples.

[Roxy · Rating 1 out of 5]

Kind of outdated, and lacking in real information. Definitely not my favorite acting book so far.
