Summary: A terrific resource for actors, directors, and playwrights!
Comment: Unlike so many acting books and methods that insist that the actor expend energy trying to erect an imaginary sheet of drywall between herself and the audience, Mr. Nicola acknowledges the presence of the audience, its role in shaping a live production, and explores many ways than an actor can consciously interact with and engage an audience while maintaining emotional truth. The book contains numerous exercises for actors to do alone and in ensemble - some are more useful than others, but not one of them is harebrained (which for an acting book, is saying something). This book is also extremely useful for directors and playwrights, as it goes into useful detail about play structure, textual purpose, and direction. It is helpful for these three to "read off the same page" for a change, and this is a book ideally suited to that purpose.
This book is the real deal. No nonsense, no smoke, no mirrors. Destined to become required reading in theater departments everywhere.
