Sinopsis

Unbelievable Acting Commitments delves into the extreme dedication of stage actors, examining how far some will go to deliver unforgettable performances. It explores the world of acting commitments, revealing both the intense physical demands and the psychological toll exacted by immersive acting techniques like Method acting. The book highlights the blurred lines between artistic expression and potential self-destruction, raising questions about ethical boundaries within the performing arts and the acting profession.

 
This exploration traces the evolution of Method acting from Constantin Stanislavski's teachings, highlighting how interpretations have sometimes led to harmful techniques. Through case studies, the book analyzes actors synonymous with extreme commitment, examining their approaches and the impact on their lives. For example, the dramatic physical transformations some actors undertake showcase the actor's dedication, but also the potential dangers involved.

 
Ultimately, Unbelievable Acting Commitments advocates for a healthier, more sustainable approach to acting. It emphasizes self-awareness, professional support, and understanding personal limits. By questioning the glorification of self-sacrifice, the book provides valuable insights for actors, theater professionals, and anyone interested in the psychology of performance, promoting a more informed and responsible approach to the craft within theatrical traditions.

    Maj. Gen. Gregg Martin cut a striking figure in the Army: athletic, quick witted, devout, and studious, he was a natural leader. Thanks to his engineering and leadership knowhow, Martin was chosen to lead the thousands of combat engineers who paved the way for 100,000 Army troops to battle their way to Baghdad in 2003. Only years later would he learn how the pressure of organizing dozens of simultaneous life-or-death missions each day altered the biochemistry of his brain. The Iraq War triggered what military and Veterans Administration psychiatrists ultimately diagnosed as late-onset bipolar disorder, a chemical imbalance that sends sufferers whipsawing between grandiose imaginings and suicidal depressions. His increasing erratic behavior led to his forced resignation as president of the National Defense University and ended his military career. 
     
     
      
    Bipolar General offers a candid account of Martin's personal journey with undiagnosed mental illness as he rose through the ranks of the United States Army. He discusses why his condition went undiagnosed for so long and explores what can be done both within and outside the armed forces to diagnose and treat mental illness. Bipolar General should be of value to those with mental illness and to the communities of family, friends, and caregivers surrounding them.

    Ten years after the publication of With Nails, Richard E Grant’s brilliant memoir of his years in Hollywood, Macmillan Digital Audio are proud to be publishing Wah-Wah, the very personal diaries of his debut behind the camera, as writer and director of his autobiographical movie of the same name. It is both a fascinating insight into the intrigues and agonies he encounters along the way, and also a deeply moving portrait of his childhood and his love affair with Swaziland, where he was born and brought up during the last throes of the British Empire. Through the mayhem – never-ending financial pressures; hostilities and finally breakdown of communication with his Producer; the nerve-racking quest to persuade the King of Swaziland to grant permission to film in his country; the assembly of a stellar cast including Gabriel Byrne, Miranda Richardson, Emily Watson, and Julie Walters – Richard E Grant has written and reads, with characteristic humour and charm, an extraordinarily honest and revealing account of a labour of love and the realisation of a dream.
