Active Analysis combines two of Maria Knebel's most important books, On Active Analysis of the Play and the Role and The Word in the Actor's Creative Work in a single edition conceived and edited by one of Knebel's most famous students, the renowned theatre and film director, Anatoli Vassiliev.

Maria Knebel, a student of Michael Chekhov, Stanislavski and Nemirovich-Danchenko, and Stanislavski's close collaborator during his final years at the Opera-Dramatic Studio, was instrumental in promoting and disseminating their acting and directing methodologies through her teaching and directing practice. This is the first English translation of an important and authoritative fragment of the great Stanislavski jigsaw. A landmark publication.

This book is an indispensable resource for professional directors, student directors, actors and researchers interested in Stanislavski, directing, rehearsal methods and theatre studies more generally.
