About
the Book:
Marlon
Brando, Al Pacino, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Hopper, Robert
DeNiro, Marilyn Monroe, and Joanne Woodward – these are only a few
of the many actors trained in Method acting – or the Method – by
the great and legendary Lee Strasberg. This revolutionary
theory of acting – developed by Stanislavski and continued by
Strasberg – has been a major influence on the art of acting in our
time. Between 1974 and his death in 1982, Lee Strasberg devoted
himself explaining once and for all what the Method is and how it
works, as well as telling the story of its development from
Stanislavsky's writings and of the people involved with it. As edited
by Evangeline Morphos from the unfinished manuscript, this
book has Strasberg discussing the inspirational sources, theory and
practicum of the Method school of acting he created. The result is A
Dream of Passion: The Development of the Method, a
masterpiece of wisdom and guidance for anyone involved with the
theatre in any way.
