Review Date: February 20, 2006
Reviewer: William Gekas, Balboa Island, CA United States
Whether you are a seasoned professional or a first-time beginner, Bob Cohen's book will give you a breath of air as you slog through the sometimes smoggy atmosphere of teaching drama. One of the problems a drama teacher faces is that while everybody can act to a certain point--after all, most of us live a life of drama just navagating the simplest everyday experiences. But not all are able to capture that natural ability to adjust to life for use in an artificial environment--ie on the stage or before the camera. Cohen breaks that process down to basics. There are no esoterics here, only common sense . . . and truth. Among the exercises there is advice. Good advice. This is a great place to start before you tackle the various "Methods" that some swear by but often get between the actor and acting. I have been at this for nearly 30 years and still go back to Cohen for that breath of air I mentioned. It makes me want to go back into the darkness of the rehearsal hall to see whether I can make the magic yet again.
Just in time!

I received my product in good time.
I was able to study for my quiz with an older edition and still do well.
I highly recommend this user.

This was a great textbook and easy to read and follow. What I liked most about this text is the current playwrights, and screenplays that were discussed in this book. To read about it and then be able to see some of these screenplays was amazing.
Superb
