A NEW drama pilot is being shot in Chester this week, revealing the secrets of acting and the “Method Actor”.

The Pidgin Productions’ “An Actor Prepares” is the first dramatisation of the book by Konstantin Stanislavski.

In between filming at Bishop Lloyd’s Palace and The Grosvenor Museum, the writer/director David Ciano explained: “‘An Actor Prepares’ is much more than just a textbook explaining the inward preparation an actor must undergo in order to explore his or her role to the full.

“Part of Stanislavski’s genius was to write down his ideas on acting in the form of a fictional diary kept by a young & enthusiastic student embarking on his training as an actor.”
