Summary: "... is based on hundreds of hours observing and recording the directorial work processes of such prominent directors as Robert Wilson, Peter Sellars and JoAnne Akalaitis working with well-known actors and actresses, including Kevin Kline, Amanda Plummer, and David Warrilow on texts ranging from Shakespeare and Chekhov to the Wooster Group's recent experiments. The result of her extensive research is a rare behind-the-scenes look at ten theatre directors, five women and five men, rehearsing actual productions-- Broadway and off-Broadway, political and experimental, text-centered and company-created. An epilogue compares the rehearsal process in professional and college theatre." -- Text de la contracoberta
