So You Want to be a Theatre Director does exactly what it says on the cover. It is aimed primarily at the young would-be professional theatre director, though much of it will also be of interest to those working in the amateur sphere. The writing is clear and direct; the chapters are divided into conveniently headed sections... His [Unwin's] book is filled with wise insights. Any budding director who reads it will learn much about the pitfalls and challenges he or she is likely to face but will also, I'm sure, catch some of Unwin's enthusiasm for what he describes as being, at times, 'the best job you can imagine''. --Around The Globe
Product Description
An invaluable hands on guide to directing plays from the founder of English Touring Theatre and the artistic director of The Rose Theatre Kingston.
Stephen Unwin takes a step-by-step approach that covers: choosing the play; casting; design; rehearsal (establishing facts, improvisation, language, character, blocking, using specialists); running the play; putting it on the stage; and opening night.
As Unwin himself says: 'Directing plays is difficult. The aim of this book is to lay out what skills are needed, and to give some sense of how you might develop them."
Written by a true professional - one of the UK's most successful theatre practitioners - the book is extraordinarily helpful and useful for directors in many other contexts - amateur dramatics, university drama, school plays and drama groups. "Directing is directing, wherever you do it."
