The Other Way: An Alternative Approach to Acting and Directing

Rating:
Summary: A Muddled Effort
Review: If you can look past the poor design and layout, the careless editing and abysmal proofreading, and the overall cheap quality of the book (including fuzzy and irrelevant photos), there is at least a little food for thought here. For a critic who is normally so concise and clear in his theatre reviews, Marowitz proves to be a rambling and unfocused sort in a longer forum. He has some interesting ideas, but they tend to get lost in the muddled and inconsistent style. Probably a must-buy for the diehard theatre enthusiast who wants to stay informed, but a much better overall treatment of the topic can be found in Richard Hornby's "The End of Acting".
