796:"Emancipating" directors is opinion, a loaded term. Actor-managers were not enslaved. There is a view that the "director as visionary auteur" model of theater has gone too far. An ensemble can have a vision, and not every production needs a director. The competing view of true collaborative theater should be represented in the article.

taken, take your choice. I think the page goes as far as it can on the craft. Of course, external links to notable directors, which will show THEIR approach, can be helpful. So I removed the no reference or supporting material stub and provided some links. There will be more, I'm sure. JohnClarknew 01:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Nicholas Hytner off the list, I mean, he's only artistic director of the Royal National Theatre in Britain. Not well known at all, of course. George Tabori, one of the best known theatre directors in post-war Germany. Oh, but no-one in America has heard of him, so let's kick

It has nothing whatsoever to do with a bias, US or otherwise. It was an attempt to include only the most signficant. Hytner is undoubtedly important, but nowhere near as influential or well-known as the others--in
Britain or the US. There are plenty missing, Brits and non-US alike, but leading the

I agree with this; it seems to describe leadership styles as opposed to styles of directing and though they share overlap, its difficult to narrow them down so thinly. There's about 10 styles of leadership to begin with as it is...

We need a source for the "types of directing styles" section. It's unsourced, and I believe it is the author's
Original Research at best. Source it or lose it.
