{"product_id":"mis-directing-the-play","title":"Mis-Directing the Play","description":"Arguing for a radical reorganization of the stage director's view of his role, Terry McCabe challenges the notion that a play is the director's vehicle for self-expression. The idea of the director as centerpiece of the theatre, he declares, distorts plays and oppresses the actors. Mr. McCabe explores what it means to direct a play when directing is properly understood as a process of self-effacement and faithfulness to the playwright's vision. An eminently sensible polemic delivered with cogent examples and equally cogent arguments. —Nicholas Rudall. A call to responsibility and—dare I say it?—adulthood. It is also the fuel for what could be some constructive arguments among colleagues. —Jeffrey Sweet","brand":"Ivan R Dee, Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54239762121048,"sku":"9781566637992","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781566637992_e2fd899f-7808-4069-9217-dcba655b409d.jpg?v=1777608014","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/mis-directing-the-play","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
