It offers a fresh new look at one of the key masters of modern theatre, and it makes him relatable to those of us who create and study theatre today. This book is written by a scholar who is uniquely familiar with the key contemporary theatre practitioners, and their work, and who can relate history to today's theatre practices - both in the academia and at the premier international venues. Maria Shevtsova uncovers the secret behind Stanislavsky's unmatched influence by stressing his unparallelled versatility as actor, director, theatre manager and entrepreneur, musicologist, designer, technician, researcher, pedagogue, experimentalist, scholar and author. Stanislavsky, as depicted by Shevtsova, lived and breathed theatre, just as today he symbolizes it. Everyone who wants to fathom the meaning behind Stanislavsky's greatness must read this book!' Andrei Malaev-Babel, Florida State University and Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training 'Maria Shevtsova's book is astonishing. Her views on Russian theatre and on European theatre in general, and on Stanislavsky in particular, are always fascinating. But in her latest book she has surpassed herself. Professor Shevtsova gives a breathtaking account and elucidations of so many aspects of Stanislavsky's work, which are so often imprisoned in theories caged in other theories, or are simply not understood. Others are just not known. To hear about the transgressive aspects of his philosophy is invigorating. Professor Shevtsova's comprehensive coverage of his work manages both to locate him in the context of his times while also liberating his spirit so that he can be appreciated in his epic universality. A tour de force.' Declan Donnellan 'Rediscovering Stanislavsky is a magisterial event in the theatre world. It is a unique attempt in international theatre studies to revisit the theory, experience and legacy of Stanislavsky, not only in the context of Russian thought but also of thought universally shared within the context of theatre practice. The author brings essential clarity to Stanislavsky's terms and ideas based on her exploration of their semantics and origins, without which it is impossible to grasp the very core of Stanislavsky's system and its method. This book gives an enormous intellectual and creative impulse to all those who are searching for new forms in contemporary theatre - actors, directors, theoreticians. Maria Shevtsova's book is superbly written, full of discoveries, insights and genuine inspiration.'
