Directing Plays, Directing People, A Collaborative Art
Mary Robinson has taken her years on the boards and in the classroom and made a noteworthy contribution to books on stagecraft. "Directing Plays, Directing People" is more than a pithy nuts-and-bolts manual on directing, it is also a frank and entertaining memoir of a life in the theater. --- Donald Margulies, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwrightThis is an incredibly smart, clear, accessible and comprehensive look into a director's process that feels more like an empowering conversation than a how-to book on directing. I felt welcomed into a very frank and down-to-earth discussion with Mary and her various collaborators. She is able to both demystify the art of directing while inspiring theater artists of all levels of experience. Anyone interested in making theater should read this...not just directors. --- Anne Kauffman, OBIE Award-winning director.
