At work with Grotowski on Physical Actions is a unique resource for actors and students - a compelling account of a decade's work with Jerzy Grotowski, one of the outstanding and most influential figures in twentieth century drama. Grotowski is inheritor of the mantle of Stanislavski; renowned and revered for his radical innovation as a director, and for his seminal manifesto Towards a Poor Theatre. This volume by Thomas Richards, his long-time collaborator, is the first available statement of Grotowski's current working practices and theoretical position.
