The End of Acting: A Radical View (Applause Books)

From Richard Hornby’s preface: This book is written for those who act, those who teach acting, and those who are interested in seeing it. It is both a theoretical work and a call for action. This book is an unashamed attack on the American acting establishment … The concepts derive from my graduate seminars in acting theory and history in the School of Theatre at Florida State University … Much of the feistiness of those classes carries over into this book … If my arguments serve only to stimulate new dialogue, they will have been valuable.
