Vsevolod Meyerhold began his career in theatre as an actor with the Moscow Art Theatre, and after a spell in the remote provinces he returned to Moscow at Stanislavski's invitation and founded a new, experimental studio for the Art Theatre. This biography recounts Meyerhold's extraordinary life of experiment and discovery, describing his rehearsal techniques and exercises, and provides as assessment of his continuing influence on contemporary theatre.
