A Director Prepares aims to offer a thought-provoking examination of the challenges of making theatre. In it, Anne Bogart speaks candidly of the courage required to create art with great presence. Each chapter tackles one of the seven major areas Bogart has identified as both potential partner and potential obstacle to art-making: violence; memory; terror; eroticism; stereotype; embarrassment; and resistance.

She also asks how theatre practitioners can think of themselves not as stagers of plays but orchestrators of social interactions and participants in an on-going dialogue about the future.
