FEATURED AUTHOR
Bella Merlin
I'm an actor, writer and professor of acting. My areas of specialty include Stanislavsky, stage fright, psychophysical acting and Shakespeare. I've been acting for stage, screen and radio for nearly 30 years, and directing for theatre using Stanislavsky's Active Analysis. Original one-person plays include TILLY NO-BODY: CATASTROPHES OF LOVE (based on Frank and Tilly Wedekind) and NELL GWYNNE: A DRAMATICK ESSAYE ON ACTING AND PROSTITUTION.
