Lee Strasberg’s account of The Method

In this late-career volume, Lee Strasberg sets out to explain the principles and development of Method acting as he understood and taught it. The book places the approach in the line of Stanislavsky’s work while tracing the people and history connected to its emergence. Strasberg also addresses how The Method functions in practice, making the volume both a record of an influential acting tradition and a guide to its central ideas. Its scope extends beyond a list of famous practitioners to the theory, training, and theatrical context behind the approach.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Actors and acting students exploring Method acting
  • Theater practitioners interested in Stanislavsky’s influence
  • Readers interested in the history of twentieth-century American performance

Book overview

Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Hopper, Robert DeNiro, Marilyn Monroe, and Joanne Woodward-these are only a few of the many actors trained in "Method" acting by the great and legendary Lee Strasberg. This revolutionary theory of acting-developed by Stanislavsky and continued by Strasberg-has been a major influence on the art of acting in our time. During his last decade, Strasberg devoted himself to a work that would explain once and for all what The Method was and how it worked, as well as telling the story of its development and of the people involved with it. The result is a masterpiece of wisdom and guidance for anyone involved with the theater in any way. .
