On Directing

In this classic guide to directing, we are taken logically from the choice of the play right through every aspect of its production to performances and beyond. Harold Clurman, one of this century's most respected directors, describes the pleasures and perils of working with such celebrated playwrights and actors as Marlon Brando, Arthur Miller, Julie Harris, and Lillian Hellman. He also presents his own directing notes for ten of his best-known productions. SC, 308 pages.
