London, Robert Hale. 2001, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0709067038) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ill.: Keith Ducklin & Adam Des Forges. "Sword Fighting: A Manual for Actors and Directors" is a comprehensive new work on the art of creating realistic and exciting fight sequences for theatre, film and TV. Written and fully illustrated by Keith Ducklin in collaboration with acclaimed fight director John Waller, this essential guide for actors, directors and fight directors includes: advice on how to use character, costume, period and setting in the staging of a fight scene; analyses of the designs and uses of European military and civilian swords, from the knightly sword of the middle ages to the small sword of the eighteenth century; and step-by-step instruction on how sword-fighting techniques from different periods can be safely adapted for stage and screen fights. "Sword Fighting: A Manual for Actors and Directors" is the product of thirty years research and experimentation into traditional European martial arts by John Waller and his associates, and possibly the most wide-ranging and practical book on stage combat ever published.
