About this title

Review:

'Its greatest virtue is not so much that you can't put it down but that you have to put it down – in order to try it out.' – Research in Drama Education

'To the Actor is by far the best book that I have read on the subject of acting. Actors, directors, writers and critics will be grateful for it.' – Gregory Peck
