Inner Monologue in Acting

What should an actor be thinking on stage? This overlooked, important question is the crux of this new book that combines psychological theory, practical exercises, and a wide-reaching examination of inner monologue in various forms including film, musical theatre, and comedy.
The inner monologue is that "stream of consciousness" or "inner voice" that constantly echoes in your head.
