Contents:
Pt. 1: Analysis : The tools of the craft ; Choices tell the story ; Making good choices ; Starting your detective work ; Finding the story through conflict and objectives ; Taking control of the script -- Pt. 2: Analysis plus synthesis : The problems inherent in the scene and those you bring to it ; Scene 1: Fame and fortune ; Scene 2: Siege of Troy ; Scene 3: Quarries ; Scene 4: Best Buy ethics ; Scene 5: The power of myth ; Scene 6: Tapeworms and memory cards ; Scene 7: Resurrections ; Scene 8: Cast in stone.
Summary: Mastery of craft depends on repetition: the more opportunities student actors have to be guided through analyzing scripts, the more likely they are to develop a reliable process for making choices when the time comes to work independently. That's why Acting on the Script contains eight short plays, which can be used independently or as parts of one full-length play, giving aspiring actors the practice they need to tell the story of the play and of their characters.
