ABSTRACT
Grotowski ranks with Stanislavsky, Meyerhold, and Brecht as one of the four great stage directors of the twentieth century. But while it is generally understood that Stanislavsky transformed acting, Meyerhold, directing, and Brecht, playwrighting, Grotowski’s influence on the craft is not so instantly recognizable. A more detailed analysis of Grotowski’s work as a director will clarify his key contributions to the field of theatre.
