The Director's Craft: A Handbook for the Theatre

Directing for the Stage is a practical guide to directing in the theatre, from one of the UK's most respected working directors. The book is a beginner's guide to the process, with specific advice on every aspect of working with actors, designers, the text, etc., and is informed by Mitchell's experiences giving workshops to drama students, A Level students, and undergraduates.It will also include a substantial amount of more discursive material about her own learning process - entries from her working diaries, descriptions of encounters with her own role models (Brook, Suzuki, Staniewski, Dodin et al) and musings on significant influences on her own practice such as the films of Tarkovsky etc. This will be integrated into the overall structure, as a way of illuminating the more practical element of the book.Mithell, Katie is the author of 'The Director's Craft: A Handbook for the Theatre', published 2008 under ISBN 9780415404389 and ISBN 041540438X.
