Our most brilliant, fearless and creative women directors open the door on their craft, discussing their work in the theatre in intimate and illuminating detail.
Through a series of fascinating conversations with many of the leading talents working on British stages, Running the Room explores what it takes to succeed in the field, and how each director approaches the work in their own way.
Each interview focuses on a particular facet of the director's practice, examining not just the 'how' - how to talk to actors, how to create the right rehearsal environment, how to handle cuts and previews, how to work with a living playwright - but also the 'why': why certain approaches work better than others, why there's no 'right' way to direct a play, and why work in theatre anyway?
As this passionate, inspiring book shows, there are myriad ways to be a theatre director. For aspiring or current directors, it will give you the confidence to be uniquely yourself, develop your own approach, and create the work you want to make. For creatives in other disciplines, it will provide insight into directors' processes, along with examples of successful collaboration. And for anyone who loves theatre, this is an unparalleled first-hand account of how brilliant theatre is made - direct from those making it.
