A practical guide to theatre directing

Katie Mitchell’s handbook organizes theatre direction around the work a director does with actors, designers, and the play text. Its scope is practical, covering different aspects of that collaborative process rather than focusing on a single production or theatrical role. The description positions the book as a guide to the director’s work across these key relationships.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Theatre directors seeking practical guidance on their work
  • Readers interested in collaboration between directors, actors, and designers
  • Theatre students or practitioners exploring direction and production
