Top Sellers in Theatre
An Actor Prepares
by Constantin Stanislavski
An Actor Prepares was first published in 1936 and is the first volume of the translations of Constantin Stanislavski's books on acting, which were published as a trilogy in English, though originally meant to be published as two books in Russia. "An Actor Prepares" was initially meant to be the first half of a volume on the inner preparation of an actor, while the second half (later published in English as "Building a Character") was meant to cover the outside work on the actor.
The Kid Stays In the Picture
by Robert Evans
An autobiographical account of the life and times of Robert Evans, Hollywood producer who worked on Love Story, Rosemary's Baby, The Godfather, Marathon Man, Chinatown The Cottonwood Club and many other films.
No Turn Unstoned
by Diana Rigg
No Turn Unstoned is a collection of "the worst theatrical reviews in history" compiled by Dame Diana Rigg, best known as Mrs Peel in The Avengers television series. The first edition, published by Elm Tree Books in 1982, did not sell well, but over the years it attained a near-cult status and a paperback edition was released in 1991. Rigg wrote to her many friends and acquaintances in the theatre and film industries and asked them to share their worst-ever reviews.
