David Mamet, the prize-winning playwright, director and teacher, has written a blunt, irreverent and unsparingly honest guide to acting. True and False leaves no acting tenet untouched, overturns conventional opinion, and tells aspiring actors what they really need to know:

How to judge the role and approach the part

How to work with the playwright

The right way to undertake auditions and rehearsals

How to think about the scene

The proper approach to agents; and the business side of acting in general Mamet is unmistakably clear about why he think actors should not be taken in by the highly touted notions that have become commonplace in most acting schools and courses. True and False confronts some of the profession's sacred cows and offers and invaluable guide to acting today.

"True and False" is a revealing book of the highest order and a pleasure to read"--Anthony Hopkins "Hard-edged, pragmatic and idealistic. . . . Every actor or would-be actor should read this book."--"Chicago Tribune " " " "Trenchant...Meet's pared-down, occasionally cryptic prose can make powerful sense."--"The New York Times" " " "This book should be read and considered by everyone who acts."--Steve Martin" "
