Dumas, Vigny, Hugo, Sand, Gautier and many others mingle their creative and affective energies with Dorval?s in a ceaseless dynamic interplay. But to read Bettina Knapp?s exceptional story is to realize too the so easily overlooked backcloth to life in Marie Dorval?s times: poverty, the need to will one?s survival, unimaginably trying circumstances in which theatre is performed, whether in the provinces or in Paris. And the account that follows further seeks, upon this at once intimate and societal canvas, to give us some real insight into the uniqueness of Dorval?s acting techniques, simultaneously instinctive, viscerally natural, and learned, studied, though more from life than instruction. A book for actors, indeed; but a book, too, for lovers of the theatre and, beyond that, of the sheer improbable drama of existence. 410 0$aChiasma ;$v21. 606 $aActors$zFrance$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aActors 676 $a792.028092 700 $aKnapp$b Bettina Liebowitz$f1926-2010.$0888131 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451846603321 996 $aMarie Dorval$91983764 997 $aUNINA
