An Actor's Work on a Role
An Actor’s Work on a Role is Konstantin Stanislavski’s exploration of the rehearsal process, applying the techniques of his seminal actor training system to the task of bringing truth to one’s chosen role.
Originally published over half a century ago as Creating a Role , this book was the third in a planned trilogy – after An Actor Prepares and Building a Character , now combined in An Actor’s Work – in which Stanislavski sets out his psychological, physical and practical vision of actor training.
This new translation from renowned scholar Jean Benedetti not only includes Stanislavski’s original teachings, but is also furnished with invaluable supplementary material in the shape of transcripts and notes from the rehearsals themselves, reconfirming 'The System' as the cornerstone of actor training.

Obituaries: Oleg Efremov
In 1973, the Moscow Art Theatre moved from its home in Art Theatre Lane, which was scheduled for renewal, to a new theatre on Tverskoi Boulevard, a vast, unsympathetic auditorium which was more like an airport terminal than a theatre. In 1976 [Efremov] began a cycle of significant Chekhov productions, usually with Smoktunovsky in the lead, and staged Bulgakov's Moliere which had been banned in the Stalinist era - a symbolic act. The reopening of the restored Art Theatre should have been a happy moment but it proved fraught with difficulty. The company's work was divided between Art Theatre Lane and Tverskoi Boulevard with no common policy. Favourite actors like Smoktunovsky and Oleg Borisov left, unhappy at the rivalry that had sprung up between the two groups. This meant that for the first time in many years Efremov returned to the stage as an actor, notably as Astrov in Uncle Vanya and the title role in Moliere. In addition to this heavy workload, he became a People's Deputy in the new Soviet Parliament.
