This fascinating study by a leading theatre critic and practitioner provides hundreds of original acting exercises used by the pivotal US figures who developed his teachings such as Lee Strasberg Stella Adler and Bobby Lewis. By going back to these primary sources Gordon cuts through the myths and misapprehensions which have built up over time.
