{"product_id":"mis-directing-the-play-terry-mccabe-9781566637992","title":"Mis-directing the Play: An Argument Against Contemporary Theatre","description":"Arguing for a radical reorganization of the stage director's view of his role, Terry McCabe challenges the notion that a play is the director's vehicle for self-expression. The idea of the director as centerpiece of the theatre, he declares, distorts plays and oppresses the actors. Mr. McCabe explores what it means to direct a play when directing is properly understood as a process of self-effacement and faithfulness to the playwright's vision. \"An eminently sensible polemic delivered with cogent examples and equally cogent arguments.\"-Nicholas Rudall. \"A call to responsibility and-dare I say it?-adulthood. It is also the fuel for what could be some constructive arguments among colleagues.\"-Jeffrey Sweet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry McCabe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566637996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566637992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivan R.
