From the dust jacket: For those who know and love the theater, the luster of these names will never dim: Stanislavski, Meirhold, Vakhtangov. They were the shining stars of the Soviet stage during its heyday; twenty five years ago Norris Houghton masterfully recorded their achievements in Moscow Rehearsals, a book which became a classic in its field almost as soon as it was published. Now a quarter of a century later, Mr. Houghton has revisited Russia to see what has become of the Moscow theatre. The result is Return Engagement, an eye opening account of why and how the Soviet stage has achieved new vigor and new freedom after two drab decades of "social realism".Condition:The item is consistent with the "Good" condition description.
