Synopsis:
A definitive guide to acting. A revised and updated edition of Declan Donnellan's international bestseller, a fresh and radical approach to acting by a world-famous director and one of the most successful titles ever published by Nick Hern Books.
"The Actor and the Target comes from the heart of his own experience. Fear, generalising and other actor's blocks are dismembered lethally and with infectious relish." Alan Rickman
"Brilliantly direct, the 'target' equips the actor with keys to unlock the fears and flab of acting. Declan's insightful voice guides us to the heart of the process; exhilirating to read and more importantly to put into practice." Joseph Fiennes.
"Cuts open every generalisation about acting and draws out gleamingly fresh specifics." Peter Brook
Review:
Hugely practical and never gets lost in theory. --El Pais
Explains Donnellan's highly practical system and sheds unique light on one of the greatest directors of acting in our time. --Le Monde
A gripping read, as acute about the psychology of lying as it is about the art of acting. --Guardian
