The Art of Coarse Acting - Michael Green

Michael Green's classic satire of amateur theatre gleefully celebrates everything that can go wrong on stage. From forgotten lines, collapsing scenery, and misplaced props to shameless overacting and hopelessly confused performers, Green skewers the quirks of actors, directors, stagehands, and every long-suffering member of the cast. Filled with mock instruction, comic observations, and painfully familiar theatrical disasters, The Art of Coarse Acting is an enduring favourite for anyone who has ever trodden the boards, suffered through a rehearsal, or enjoyed the glorious chaos of amateur drama.
