'Robert Leach's monograph provides lucid and essential insight into the magnificent modernist Vsevolod Meyerhold … a valuable and illuminating book.' Plays and Players
'Few Meyerhold scholars have contributed as lucid and insightful an understanding of Meyerhold's theories as Leach manages … Vsevolod Meyerhold is a cogently written overview of a fascinating theatrical era.' Theatre Three
This book traces the career of the Russian revolutionary theatre director, Vsevolod Meyerhold, from his early years as a founding member of the Moscow Art Theatre with Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko, through his Symbolist period, his experiments with commedia dell'arte and other popular forms, to his demise in the Stalin era. Leach describes in detail Meyerhold's 'system' of theatre: his attitude to the audience, the place of the fore stage, 'biomechanics' and actor training, and the importance of the mise-en-scène. Finally, Leach explores Meyerhold's legacy, which can be detected in the work of Brecht, Eisenstein, Peter Brook and others.
