The idea of the director as centerpiece of the theatre, he declares, distorts plays and oppresses the actors. Mr. McCabe explores what it means to direct a play when directing is properly understood as a process of self-effacement and faithfulness to the playwright's vision. An eminently sensible polemic delivered with cogent examples and equally cogent arguments. —Nicholas Rudall. A call to responsibility and—dare I say it?—adulthood. It is also the fuel for what could be some constructive arguments among colleagues. —Jeffrey Sweet\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ivan R Dee, Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49497762103523,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781566637992-1.jpg?v=1788395192","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781566637992","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
