The Great European Stage Directors Set 1
Methuen Drama
978-1-350-44598-7 (ISBN)
Each volume provides substantial treatment of three major directors, with each director considered by two specialists, combining analysis of the director’s practical craft with accounts of the historical, cultural and theoretical context of their practice. Links between the featured directors and other artists and directors from the period are traced to round out the picture of influences and artistic development.
Volume 1: Antoine, Stanislavski and Saint-Denis (edited by Professor Peta Tait, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia): the engagement with ‘realism’
Volume 2: Meyerhold, Piscator, Brecht (edited by Professor David Barnett, University of York, UK): directors' experiments with understandings of 'the political' in the theatre - in acting practice, scenic arrangement and audience positioning
Volume 3: Copeau, Komisarjevsky, Guthrie (edited by Professor Jonathan Pitches, University of Leeds, UK): the director as migrant shaping new approaches to the classics
Volume 4: Reinhardt, Jessner, Barker (edited by Professor Michael Patterson, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK): the engagement with aesthetic modernism as part of a set of formal languages, leading to new approaches to the expressive apparatus
