The Joy of Acting is a textbook of exercises, carefully selected and progressing from the elementary to the more difficult, for the use of teachers of acting, directors (in studio work) and individual actorbeginners. This is material which the author found most effective in his years of teaching actors in New York City. The principles of psychology on which the Stanislavsky system is based are closely hence the book provides an excellent text-manual to supplement an Actor Prepares. In an introduction, the author dicusses the problems of the artist in the theatre, and the ideal collaboration of actor, director and playwright.
