Book Reviews of True and False: Heresy and Common Sense for the Actor

Book Review: Punchy, contentious, enormously refreshing
Summary: 5 Stars

Mamet's spare, angry demolition of the nonsense spoken about "great" acting is like pure oxygen to those of us who have harboured - but dared not express - nagging doubts about The Method, Stanislavsky, and a million other shibboleths masquerading as theatrical "wisdom".

His book is brief, practical, important, brave. It's a book to be wrestled with, argued over, acted on.

Actors - read it. Directors, agents, casting directors, staple it to your eyeballs.
