Description: From well-known auteur of the American theatre scene, Anne Bogart, \"And then, you act\" is a fascinating and accessible book about directing theatre, acting and the collaborative creative process. Writing clearly and passionately, Bogart speaks to a wide audience, from undergraduates to practitioners, and makes an invaluable contribution to the field tackling themes such as: intentionality; inspiration; and why theatre matters. Following on from her successful book \"A Director Prepares\", which has become a key text for teaching directing classes, \"And then, you act\" is an essential practitioner and student resource.

Review: 'Attractive and accessible. The book should certainly be obligatory for college students reading Theatre Studies and for drama students ... a book that I found both instructive and enlightening.' - \"Max Stafford-Clark, Director of Out of Joint theatre company\" 'Outstanding ... as a writer and teacher she is incisive, illuminating, refreshingly honest and dissident ... the book addresses a wide range of ideas and practices in language that is accessible, articulate, energised.' - \"David Williams, Dartington College of Arts, UK\"
