Taking Stock: The Theatre of Max Stafford-Clark Reviews

'a rare opportunity to get inside the mind of one of British theatre's most original practitioners... a fascinating view of an incredibly diverse body of work'

* British Theatre Guide *

'a splendid portrait of the vicissitudes of the collective life'

* Times Literary Supplement *

'fascinating... By pioneering the workshop method of rehearsal, where actors and director all contribute ideas before sending the playwright off to pen the text, Stafford-Clark made a major innovation in the evolution of British drama... He also tells a good story'

-- Aleks Sierz * Independent *

'a terrific read... an absolute treasure trove of insights, tips, reminiscences and lessons in the 'process' of how a new play comes into the world'

* Rogues and Vagabonds *

About Max Stafford-Clark

Max Stafford Clark's career as a director began in 1966 at the Traverse, Edinburgh. With William Gaskill he co-founded, in 1974, the Joint Stock Theatre Group, which forged a new creative bond between actors and writers. From 1979-1993 he was artistic director of the Royal Court Theatre. And in 1993 he set up the extremely successful touring company, Out of Joint.

Dr Philip Roberts is Emeritus Professor of Theatre Studies in the University of Leeds and a theatre historian, particularly of the Royal Court.
