Acting Books - Books on Acting

We’ve started to compile a list of the most popular, or maybe even the best books on Acting which you will see below.
For each book, we'll give you a bit of background information on the author or practitioner, and then we’ll attempt to summarise each chapter of the book, so you can get a taste for the contents of the book, which will hopefully encourage you to buy it and read it in more detail.

To the Actor: On the Technique of Acting by Michael Chekhov
