Summary: An Actor's Best Buy
Comment: I just finished reading this book as a part of an acting class, and I highly recommend that anyone with an interest in acting check out this book. It's an amazing resource. Boleslavsky shares from his amazing wealth of knowledege of the stage, and it would be foolish not to take advantage of the knowledge provided here.

Summary: Within the parenthes
Comment: From memory, a long way back; fantistic approach! Fantistically simple that is! Deceptively so! Would that all info., came similarly packaged. Buy it and devour it! And yes, all is 'within the parenthes'. Wish I'd thought of it!

Summary: The best volume to begin your work as an actor
Comment: Richard Boleslavsi, a key member of the Moscow Art Theatre and practioner of the Stanislvaskian "system" wrote this, a key volume that serves as the greatest starting point for any serious actor.
Writing his text in the form of a play script, Boleslavski lays out a series of easily definable and highly applicable excersises that aid tremendously towards developing the acting instrument.
Although it is impossible to learn acting from simply reading a book, if used as a complimentary text in a hands on acting class, Boleslavski's book will help one build a solid foundation upon which one can begin legitimate work in the Theatre.
However, on a strongly personally biased note, skip the second chapter, entitled "Memory of Emotion". If done improperly, this second chapter can lead to incredibly self conscious acting posing as psuedo-therepy.
The chapters of Rythym, Concentration, Dramatic Action, Characterization and Observation however prove helpful, practical and definable. Please begin with this tome.
