520    "This Introduction is an exciting journey through the 
       different styles of theatre that twentieth-century and 
       contemporary directors have created. It discusses artistic
       and political values, rehearsal methods and the diverging 
       relationships with actors and designers, treatment of 
       dramatic material and approaches to audiences. Offering a 
       compelling analysis of theatrical practice, Christopher 
       Innes and Maria Shevtsova explore the different rehearsal 
       and staging principles and methods of such earlier 
       groundbreaking figures as Stanislavsky, Meyerhold and 
       Brecht, revising standard perspectives on their work, as 
       well as analysing a diverse range of innovative 
       contemporary directors, including Ariane Mnouchkine, Lev 
       Dodin, Peter Brook, and Peter Sellars. While tracing the 
       different roots of directorial practices across time, and 
       discussing their artistic, cultural and political 
       significance, the authors provide significant examples of 
       the major directorial approaches and reveal comprehensive 
       patterns in the craft of directing and the influence and 
       collaborative relationships of directors"--|cProvided by
