Classical acting

Malcolm Morrison's book examines classical texts and shows the actor how to interpret often difficult language for the stage and demonstrates how to approach the reading and speaking of classical texts. The author looks at the whole acting process, including developing a character, research, movement and voice. Exercises accompany the text to make it a thoroughly practical and useful book, concise and direct in style. It will be invaluable for drama students and actors and may be used in the classroom or for individual private study. Malcolm Morrison is Director of the Professional Theatre Training Program, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee; Director of the World Theatre Training Institute and Artistic Director of the Northern Stage Company in the USA.
