Oh no. We're spending Episode 2 looking at Chapter 1. This can only end in tears.
In Chapter 1 of Isaac Butler's bookThe Method: How the Twentieth Century Learned to Act, we meet our heroes Konstantin Stanislavski and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, theatre artists hungry for new forms and eager to form a partnership. We talk about finding the art in yourself and other such nonsense, and the origin of a phrase that has been drilled into actors for the last hundred years now.
