Reviews

" ... more than a pithy nuts-and-bolts manual on directing, it is also a frank and entertaining memoir of a life in the theater" ~ Donald Margulies, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright

"This is an incredibly smart, clear, accessible and comprehensive look into a director's process that feels more like an empowering conversation than a how-to book on directing.
