The Actor and the Target

Some reviews from Russia where it was first published ...

'Practically and modestly written, Declan Donnellan's book helps actors to release their talent and to be free on stage. However, Donnellan's path leads to wider perspectives; his book is rooted in modern theatre, modern psychology and, above all, modern reality. Written with wit and elegance, The Actor and the Target will be thoroughly enjoyed not only by the actors of a new millenium, but also by those of us who see the stage from the dark auditorium' - Izvestia

'Donnellan's directing style is immediately recognisable in his book, drenched in the spirit of artistic aand personal freedom. Unpretentious, straightforward, and pierced with acute insight ...' Kommersant
