Synopsis

Vsevolod Meyerhold considers the life and work of the extraordinary twentieth-century director and theatre-maker. This compact, well-illustrated volume includes:

  • a biographical introduction to Meyerhold’s life

  • a clear explanation of his theoretical writings

  • an analysis of his masterpiece production Revisor, or The Government Inspector

  • a comprehensive and usable description of the ‘biomechanical’ exercises he developed for training the actor.

As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners offer unbeatable value for today's student.
