The ultimate guide for amateur dramatics!,
By
This review is from: The Art of Coarse Acting, or, How to Wreck an Amateur Dramatic Society (Paperback)
If you are in an amateur company - and even if you are not - then you should read this book. It will either persuade you to join an amateur society, or make you leave before you get corrupted.It's too late for us, but you can still save yourself . . . "The Art of Coarse Acting" can be considered the definitive work for any and all amateur societies - even if it is just a guide at what not to do! I'm so glad it has come back into print, and the second revised edition has all the charm of the original and far more interesting information. Buy this now!

Indispensible!,
By
This review is from: The Art of Coarse Acting, or, How to Wreck an Amateur Dramatic Society (Paperback)
As a long-time amateur actor, I can also verify the accuracy of Michael Green's excellent observations on this quintessentially English pastime beloved of eccentrics for generations. His characters "Askew" and "Watkins" speak for the experience of many throughout our land, both of the humour and enjoyment of acting and indeed the indispensibility of this distilled experience. A joy to read, and hopefully a fine advert for the many and varied pleasures of amateur dramatics, though I must admit to being disappointed that the author failed to discuss the potential traumas of acting naked (briefly), as I was forced to do during a production of Ray Cooney's Out of Order!

5.0 out of 5 stars
A very funny and very accurate account of amateur dramatics,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Coarse Acting, or, How to Wreck an Amateur Dramatic Society (Paperback)
This book is a very easy read and can be dipped into at any time for amusing anecdotes. Michael Green has beautifully observed the many facets of the classical amateur actor and compiled them into a genuinely funny book. This book is a must for the Christmas stocking of anyone who fancies themselves in the footlights - it will bring them straight down to earth with a bit of a bump.
