Circle Mirror Transformation - Acting Edition (Acting Edition for Theater Productions)

Book is a playscript for reading.

While this play is set in the context of an acting workshop/class, to me, it seems that this is more the mechanism for the gradual character and relationship development - it is not so important that they are in an acting class, but rather, that each of the five characters goes through their respective processes of self-reflection, revelation, and relationship. There are no "filler" characters: every single one of them has her or his own individual arc, and they all interweave and trigger each other through the context of the acting class.i do think as another reviewer noted, that the play leaves much up to the individual actors (and by extension, the director). They will have to develop their characters in a way that makes the audience truly care about each one of them - otherwise the mechanism of the class can overwhelm the charactersʻ stories.Personally, i would love to be cast in a production of this piece.

This is possibly my favorite play ever. The character development is unmatched, and Marty’s class is the best place for it to happen. The breaks from the action with the exercises are welcome and genius. The ending is amazing. It made me cry, but it was one of those plays that leaves you feel full at the end. It’s wrapped up beautifully. I love it all so much.

It's great to be able to get theatrical scripts from Amazon - so fast and convenient. This script is a great and touching story - would be perfect for community as well as pro theater companies.

I can't imagine this being a good read for anyone unless they are an actor. It's a challenging play. I got the script for an audition. I enjoyed reading it. The play is well written and very " natural" feeling.

I had to purchase the script for a college writing course. I surprisingly ended up enjoying the material. It was much less expensive through Amazon then it was through the local community college bookstore.

This script throws some very different human beings together in an acting class at a Vermont community center. We get to know them through the exercises given to them by their teacher. The cumulative effect is quite moving.

I was hoping this script would work for my theater company, but it didn't really speak to me. Might be right for yours, however...

This play took the American theatre by storm (see Amazon.com reviews) and this is certainly justified. It is a dark, complex, psychological tale
