Adrian Cairns, an actor and director himself, has taught several generations of actors at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Jeremy Irons and Daniel Day-Lewis were two of his students. He provides a stimulating analysis of acting styles and training used on the Elizabethan stage, Restoration and 18th-century developments, Victorian acting "in the grand manner," and 20th-century initiatives in Russia, Europe, England, and the U.S. (the French avant-garde, the German twenties, the "turbulent thirties"), the European gurus, and American actors. Cairns concludes with chapters on modern drama and the use of Controlled Environments, Virtual Reality, and Found Spaces.
