Overview
Don Taylor, a director and playwright, explores both the theory and practice of directing plays, with particular emphasis on textual interpretation. He looks at the process of choosing a play, the working partnership of director, playwright and designer, the delicate matter of casting, and the rehearsal process. Directing Plays considers the artistic choices which face each director and inform every production. Taylor gives full voice to current theatre ideologies, including that of concept direction, where a text may be used as the basis for the director's own schema, and productions where movement is the main form of dramatic communication. There are no longer right and wrong ways of doing things -- Don Taylor urges only that directors work from an informed perspective with integrity and imagination.
