"In [this book], fundamental elements of the methods of the
great acting teachers...are conceived of as spokes in a wheel.
Each spoke is analyzed, new insights appear as to personalization,
objectives, strategies, transitions, character, and the audience.
When the wheel is set in motion the spokes disappear
and great acting occurs."
