From Library Journal
Marowitz, former director of London's Open Space Theatre, has written a highly personal analysis of the art of directing. The director, in his view, ultimately controls all aspects of performance and production; his discussions of the relations between the director and playwright, actors, and designers reflect this philosophy. Additional perspectives are provided by interviews with Glenda Jackson and director Robert Lewis. Marowitz's tone is sometimes arrogant, but his insights into the directorial process are consistently thought-provoking and often valuable. Sure to be controversial, this is recommended for most theater collections. Susan Thach Dean, Fine Arts Div., Chicago P.L.
