Was ist nur auf der Wiese los? Da klettert im Fruuml;hling eine Blume aus der Erde; die noch nie jemand gesehen hat. Alle sind sich einig: Die ist bestimmt hochnauml;sig und hauml;lt sich fuuml;r etwas Besseres. Die Blume kann sich nicht erklauml;ren; warum sie als Einzige ihrer Art auf der Wiese wauml;chst. Sie erlebt ihren ersten Fruuml;hling in Traurigkeit und Einsamkeit. Bis sie es nicht mehr aushauml;lt. Was dann passiert; ist so aufregend; dass fuuml;r Traurigkeit und Einsamkeit keine Zeit mehr bleibt. Wenn Frau Maus erkennt; dass es zusammen viel schouml;ner ist als allein; und wenn Felix; der Reisevogel; mehr aufregende Geschichten houml;rt; als er selbst erlebt hat; dann ist das hier der beste Platz zum Wachsen.

2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. and demonstrating in precise detail the great playwrights theatrical theories and practicesBy CustomerIf you are interested in really understanding Shakespeares approach to acting; directing; and producing theatre; this book is filled to the brim with wisdom. Cohen systematically analyzes Shakespeares theories on acting; going far beyond Polonius advice to the players; and demonstrating in precise detail the great playwrights theatrical theories and practices. We discover that Shakespeare was way ahead of what we now call Method Acting; that he understood first-hand how actors must approach their roles; and that there is much more to staging a play than resorting to theatrical tricks. What I admire most about this book is the way Cohen analyzes Shakespeares plays in order to demonstrate the validity of Shakespeares beliefs. I never knew that Shakespeare was an actor long before he wrote a play. Cohen tracks his theatrical life; experiences; and beliefs; with razor-sharp clarity. Its kind of like reading a first-rate Sherlock Holmes mystery. I gained clarity about many of Shakespeares plays; including Hamlet; King Lear; and A Midsummer Nights Dream. Great reading for actors; directors; and playwrights.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Meet Shakespeare; the ActorBy CustomerIntimate; highly accessible; and fast-paced; this book reads Shakespearersquo;s plays for signs of the Bardrsquo;s own perspective as an actor. Although there is some biography and theater history here; the emphasis (and the excitement) lies in the authors intuitive; experience-based; wisdom-rich readings of the plays.Cohenrsquo;s Shakespeare began as an actor; developed from acting into playwriting; and went on to direct and produce his plays; but retained the actorrsquo;s perspective throughout. Cohen argues that Shakespeare wrote plays about plays; and plays about playing in plays. Cohen analyzes the acting methods implied by the dramas and makes them available to contemporary readers; theater-makers; and theater lovers.
