For Beginners #97

This entry in the For Beginners series offers a graphic-novel-style introduction to the life and theories of Konstantin Stanislavski, the pioneering Russian theatre practitioner. It covers his development of the 'system' of acting, his work with the Moscow Art Theatre, and his enduring influence on modern performance. The book uses illustrations and accessible prose to break down complex concepts like emotional memory and the 'magic if' for newcomers to acting theory.
