Stanislavski's Legacy cover

Out of the large body of materials -- articles, speeches, notes and memoirs -- left behind by Stanislavski at the time of his death in 1938, Elizabeth Hapgood, his friend and translator, chose items which concentrate on the essence of his work. The result is a volume which supplements the other books he wrote, and re-emphasizes, sometimes in condensed and particulary vivid form, his views about acting, the theatre and life.

"You couldn't ask for a more definitive, fascinating discussion of the art of acting . . . a real service and probably one of the year's most valuable theatre books." -- Washington Post
"It is filled with wisdom and interpretation of life as seen through theatrical art that no one really interested in the theatre can afford to miss." -- Dramatics
