Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Stage Directing for Amateurs: A Handbook for Amateur Managers and Actors
Demand - if one can so name that which is no more than an indefinite but insistent feeling - the actor has found that he has gained in every way. If amateur players aim as high as they can; if they work hard to give a performance which modestly asks to be judged by professional standards; if they try to get all the values possible out of the play; if, instead of merely reading lines, they make a real attempt - with what light they have - to impersonate character, we think there is a great gain all round. Not only is it more fun, but there is also a marked and permanent ad vance in accepted standards. Not only are rehearsals more interesting, when they are made the occasion of intelligent study, but they are a whole lot more amusing than those of the older type.
