Synopsis

Konstantin Stanislavsky is one of the colossi not simply of Russian, but world theatre. The works of the creator of the Stanislavsky System - which later gave rise to the Method - have tended to shroud him in mystique, leading his followers to revere him as a saint and his detractors to dismiss him out of hand. David Magarshack's clear-eyed biography succeeds in presenting the man behind the System.
