Stanislavski Produces Othello

2014 Reprint of 1963 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The notes Stanislavski produced for his 1930s production of Othello reveal much of the theory which he had incorporated in his three part An Actor Prepares Building a Character and Creating a Role. These production notes remain the fullest statement of Stanislavskis mature approach to directing Shakespearean tragedy. This essentially involved a move away from the earlier overwhelming emphasis on emotion towards a greater exploration of tragic character through physical action.
