    A Gem -- And Not Just for Theater
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2022*

This is a real pleasure to read (and easily reread). While his focus is on theater, I find many of the lessons to be applicable to screenwriting and directing cast and crew for film. It's a very short book (102 pages before you get to the appendix) so obviously can't go super in depth but it doesn't pretend to (and, quite frankly, most books use filler to reach the page quotas expected in their genre.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Inspirational Yet Direct
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2015*

5 stars = I Love It, which is how I feel about this book. It is NOT a "how to" guide to directing. Instead, it's a reflection on issues and tasks that arise while directing. These are "notes" on directing, not lessons. Hauser reminds you of things you should know (how to treat actors with respect) and how get the best work out of yourself and your cast. Reading this book is like sitting down with your favorite directing teacher or having a drink with colleagues. Read it straight through the first time -- the book progresses naturally from reading the script through casting and rehearsals, to specialty sections on Talking to Actors and Getting a Laugh. After that, you may choose to dip in out, for ideas and inspiration. I return to this book every time I'm starting a new project. It makes me smile and prepares me for the work ahead.

    Short, sweet and wise like a Strunk and White for directing.
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2015*

I found this to be just what I needed in my search for a book on directing, in my case directing theatre and despite the many other larger or more well-known books on the subject out there, Notes on Directing was all I needed to get me going.I felt like I spent a day with an expert giving me all his advice as we walked through the deserted rooms, halls and stage of an old theatre in London.It also reminded me of Strunk and White's The Elements of Style book for writing, in that it contains clear, direct notes for doing things right. Of course in this case the rules can and probably should be broken to be made your own, but the advice is still much appreciated, helpful and invaluable.This is a small read that I happened to enjoy immensely.
