Art Of Coarse Acting, Or, How To Wreck An Amateur Dramatic Society, Th Av Michael Green

<p>A coarse actor is...<br/> <br/> - One who can remember their lines but not the order in which they come<br/> - One whose eyebrows are attached to their feet (so every facial expression involves the whole body as well)<br/> - One who limps on both legs simultaneously<br/> - One who knows everybody else''s lines better than their own</p><p>For 50 years, Michael Green''s The Art of Coarse Acting has been essential reading for anyone with a passion for theatre. It''s an outrageous spoof that punctures pretentiousness, pokes fun at incompetence, revels in disaster and lifts the lid on life backstage.</p><p>As this special 50th anniversary edition proves, however much the theatre may change, Coarse Actors don''t. Green''s acerbic yet affectionate work remains one of the funniest books about acting ever written.</p>
