Worried about short rehearsal time? Think that fluffing your lines will be the end of your career? Are you afraid youll be typecast? Is there such a thing as acting too much? How should a stage actor adjust performance for a camera? And how should an actor behave backstage?The Actors Survival Handbook gives you answers to all these questions and many more. Written with verve and humor; this utterly essential tool speaks to every actors deepest concerns.

I intend to use it for a class of 13/14 year olds and can see that it will be easy to adapt for Readers Theatre style readings. The introduction displaying the characters in colour is great for identifying the cast later on in the play; the abridged version does not leave out any significant text but lengths of speeches are suitable for younger readers. Using two readers for the main roles means that there are about 25 parts available- the minor parts quite suitable for less able readers. I think the unusual fantasy setting will provide discussion. Ive been looking for a workable Merchant for several years now-this it it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
