"""Seventy-five percent of what we do at rehearsal does not enter the performance."" - Constantin Stanislavski
Susan Letzler Cole's firsthand account of the rehearsal sessions of acclaimed directors and actors offers a view of what is often hidden from the public eye: what actors and directors do when they prepare a dramatic text for performance. Directors in Rehearsal is based on hundreds of hours observing and recording the directorial work process. The author has
closely observed prominent directors working with text ranging from Shakespeare and Chekhov to the Wooster Group's recent experiments. The result of her extensive research is a rare behind-the scenes look at 10 theatre directors rehearsing
actual productions - Broacdway and off-Broadway, political and experimental, text-centered and company created."
