What reading level is The Path of the Modern Russian Stage And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now, an unrestricted individuality, guided mainly by its own ideas and impulses, may be a great asset in other theatres, but it certainly has no place in a theatre of objective representation, where it would be opposed to its fundamental principle. As to the assertion that individual direction lowers the standard of acting, this is easily answered by the remarkable fact that, in spite of its dictatorship, the Art Theatre has given Russia some of her finest actors, THE MOSCOW ART THEATRE 51 as f...or instance Kachalov and Moskvin, who, before they joined the Art Theatre, had been merely young and obscure provincial actors.
The other problem raised by the Art Theatre must be familiar to the English public. The system of long-run plays is practically unknown in Russia. Its only indication may be found, however strange it may appear, in the practice of the Art Theatre. The extraordinary thoroughness of its productions, involving expenditure of money on a most lavish scale and necessi- tating innumerable rehearsals (some plays were rehearsed for over a year before they were produced) , had the unexpected effect of reducing its repertoire to a few more or less popular plays.
