The Stanislavski Experience ::: University

University

“The Stanislavski Experience far exceeded expectations, our students, all new to Chekhov, were immediately drawn in to the activities of the day and are now champing at the bit as we prepare to stage our first play “Uncle Vanya”. If there was ever a way to open up the great fun that can be got from doing these works it is certainly through the Stanislavski Experience and their way of making something so complex so easily understood”
Gary Sullivan / The Actor's School - StageAbility
