"Renowned theatre and film director Nancy Meckler delves into her hugely varied experiences
in the rehearsal room and shares examples of some of her tried-and-tested "tools"
that she utilises when bringing a play to life. Meckler encourages you to interrogate,
play, experiment and to use her methods as a starting point to begin creating your
own unique directing toolkit. This book therefore is not intended to offer a singular
step-by-step process, but to empower you to find your own style. The examples are
drawn from her experience directing a range of work from classic plays, including
work by Chekov, Brecht and Shakespeare, to new writing, including work by Pam Gems
and Sam Shephard, and in a wide range of renowned theatres, including the RSC, National
Theatre, Royal Court and a number of the UK's regional theatres. Drawing on her methods
of improvisation, interrogation and exploration, Meckler details how she approaches:
text concept creative design elements actors ensemble genre relationships with designers
designing for a specific space casting process rehearsal scheduling working with contemporary
and first-time writers working on comedy ... among many other areas. She offers specific
techniques along with practical guidance to complement a director's work at any stage
of their career. The author's approachable and relatable writing style enables an
in-depth look into how she works with actors and the many ways in which she may approach
a new project while also providing us with a unique insight into her own wealth of
experience over a remarkable career as an award-winning and internationally celebrated
director"
