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.
