Summary

Stanislavski's "System" offers both a means of mastering the craft of acting and of stimulating the actor's individual creativeness and imagination. Generations of actors have been inspired by his ideas -- the "magic if," "emotional memory," the "unbroken line" -- and by that hallmark of Stanislavski's work, an unwavering commitment to theatrical truth.
