What is The Art of Directing about?

The authors, who are respected theater academicians, seek to help prospective directors build an aesthetic foundation for directing. They begin with an examination of the nature of the dramatic form and of "how a play happens" before an audience in the theater, basing their discussion on the work of Aristotle, Kenneth Burke, John Howard Lawson, Constantin Stanislavsky and Paul Klee. They introduce a system of play analysis based on these theoretical foundations, examine the director's challenge to designs production that reveals dramatic action in time and space and the director's efforts to help actors in their search for character. They also describe the phases of the production process, from getting ready to postperformance evaluation. ISBN 0-534-03891-3 (pbk.) : 16.25
