Barton takes great care to present the actor with the roles and genres that will most commonly confront them. His analysis moves from entire genres to specific scenes and characters. A huge resource of nearly one hundred and fifty practical exercises helps a new-found understanding of style to make the leap from page to performance" -- Back cover.
