"The best theatre book I read this year. The remarkable thing is its lack of bunk. Actors and watchers of actors will find it a book to mark up and read again."--Dan Sullivan, Los Angeles Times

5.0 out of 5 stars Old school actor training
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2019

I enjoyed this book tremendously and found it very useful in reminding me about the many important things to constantly keep in mind in my work as an actor. Some people may consider this book a bit dated. I feel it’s a great representation of good old fashioned nuts and bolts acting technique that is the foundation of all good work, no matter what school of acting you adhere to.

4.0 out of 5 stars the joy of acting
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2000
Lewis has a much more theatrical approach to acting than some of his contemporaries (Strasberg, Meisner, etc). This was the first acting technique book I ever read. What struck me most was how much fun Lewis got out of the theatre and acting. It has a much different tone to it than a lot of acting books. He fills it with many funny and interesting anecdotes from his life in the theatre. His technique seems closely related to Stella Adler's. If you like this book you should check out his autobiography "Slings and Arrows". One of the founders of the Actors Studio, member of the Group Theatre, successful Broadway director, and Yale Drama School Professor (taught Meryl Streep). A fascinating man
