Different Every Night is the culmination of a lifetime of work in the theatre, the most complete rehearsal methodology in print since Stanislavsky. It offers a vital masterclass for actors and directors, full of sound practical advice and guidance, and is packed with techniques for bringing the text to life and keeping it alive - both in rehearsal and performance. ''Most of what I am as an actress I owe to Mike Alfreds. He gave me the language and the tools I needed for my craft."--Publisher's description UR - https://samples.overdrive.com/different-every-night?.epub-sample.overdrive.com UR - http://images.contentreserve.com/ImageType-100/1486-1/{CEE5D9C5-F77A-4F8C-BAE5-05E733DED201}Img100.jpg UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=689979 UR - http://www.myilibrary.com?id=857196 UR - https://www.overdrive.com/search?q=CEE5D9C5-F77A-4F8C-BAE5-05E733DED201 UR - https://public.ebookcentral.proquest.com/choice/publicfullrecord.aspx?p=1171286 ER -
