Sant Och Falskt - Irrlära Och Sunt Förnuft För Skådespelaren
Sant och falskt av David Mamet är en av vår tids mest inflytelserika böcker om skådespeleri. Här diskuteras yrket temperamentsfullt och inspirerande. Och ges utmanande och frigörande råd till dem som praktiserar yrket och dem som är på väg in i det. Mamet polemiserar mot den vedertagna undervisning (t.ex. efter Stanislavskij och Lee Strasberg), som tvingar in eleverna under en enda saliggörande metod. Mamet rekommenderar istället en modigt enkel och ärlig stil på scenen. Liksom han kraftfullt argumenterar mot skådespeleriets olika myter. David Mamet låter oss här ta del av en lång och vägvisande erfarenhet. Han är en av USA:s stora manusförfattare (Wag the Dog, Glengarry Glen Ross m.fl.) och har författat en lång rad essayer. Denna utgåva är den första boken av Mamet på svenska. Översättaren Gerhard Hoberstorfer är sedan 1990-talet knuten till Stockholms Stadsteater.
