In True and False David Mamet overturns conventional opinion and tells aspiring actors what they really need to know. He leaves no aspect of acting untouched: how to judge the role, approach the part, work with the playwright; the right way to undertake auditions and the proper approach to agents and the business in general. True and False slaughters a wide range of sacred cows and yet offers an invaluable guide to the acting profession.

It's a really insightful view into the practicalities of living and working as an actor and it strips back so many of those frustrating and pretentious ideas that are so often bandied around the theatre world. Down to earth and refreshing. If you perform, write or direct please read this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tells the truth *by S***I on 18 July 2015* First you think Mamet is just too angry and wants to appropriate the craft of theatre from the actor and put everything in the writer's hands but on a closer look, Mamet is a writer who (finally) takes responsibility for the play and frees the actor to do her job. He is a playwright who understands that actors can never rescue bad writing. It is too late. He cuts through a lot of crap and true to promise, tells the truth, invents nothing, denies nothing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/49921045-true-and-false](https://www.desertcart.at/products/49921045-true-and-false) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
