Publisher's Notes
A man sets out on an ordinary business trip to Valparaiso, Indiana. It turns out to be a mock-heroic journey toward identity and transcendence. This is Don DeLillo's second play and it is funny, sharp, and deep-reaching. Its characters tend to have needs and desires shaped by the forces of broadcast technology. This is the way we talk to each other today. This is the way we tell each other things, in public, before listening millions, that we don't dare to say privately. This is also a play that makes obsessive poetry out of the language of routine airline announcements and the flow of endless information.

Stanislavski in Rehearsal
by Vasily Osipovich Toporkov
Bertholt Brecht wrote of the German translation of Stanislavski in Rehearsal: "It is a fundamental work. For me, it has been the best source for understanding the Stanislavski 'method.'" In this fascinating book one sees Stanislavski's constant revision, his continuing search for more and more helpful ways to assist actors in creating their roles until the very end of his long, fruitful life. Here is a description of the work of his last years, written by one of the outstanding actors of his time, Vasily Osipovich Toporkov. One of Stanislavski's favorite actors, Toporkov was invited by him to participate in the experiments that form the basis of this book. It provides the clearest description of his famous "method of physical actions" from an insider trained by Stanislavski himself.
