In this volume, Sir John Gielgud said, this great director found time to explain a thousand things that have always troubled actors and fascinated students.Building a Character discusses the external techniques of acting: the use of the body, movement, diction, singing, expression, and control.Creating a Role describes the preparation that precedes actual performance, with extensive discussions of Gogols The Inspector General and Shakespeares Othello. Sir Paul Scofield called Creating a Role immeasurably important for the actor.These three volumes belong on any actors short shelf of essential books.
