Ever wondered what happens on the other side of that door with the sign warning, “Rehearsals in process. Do Not Enter.” Well, master director Nancy Meckler graciously opens this door and invites you into her remarkable process. She brings this often mysterious endeavor refreshingly back down to earth while still inspiring all of us to shoot for the moon. A must-read for anyone who loves theatre and how we go about making it.

A fascinating read, in which the link between writer, director and the performer(s) is explored through a mix of memoir and workshop exercises ... this book is not just an essential read on this particular director's career experiences, but also a primer on teamwork and how everyone works to make a show a success.

There's a lot that a director or adaptor (or potential one) could learn from this.
