Kazan on Directing

Kazan on Directing

Elia Kazan was the twentieth centuryâ€™s most celebrated director of both stage and screen, and this monumental, revelatory book shows us the master at work.Â Kazanâ€™s list of Broadway and Hollywood successesâ€”A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, On the Waterfront, to name a fewâ€”is a testament to his profound impact on the art of directing. This remarkable book, drawn from his notebooks, letters, interviews, and autobiography, reveals Kazanâ€™s method: how he uncovered the â€œspine,â€ or core, of each script; how he analyzed each piece in terms of his own experience; and how he determined the specifics of his production. Â And in the final section, â€œThe Pleasures of Directingâ€â€”written during Kazanâ€™s final yearsâ€”he becomes a wise old pro offering advice and insight for budding artists, writers, actors, and directors.
