Archives of Michael Chekhov
Canadian born Dierdre Hurst du Prey was a student of Michael Chekhov. She transcribed his acting lessons and lectures from 1935-1942. Her notes were typed and archived and comprise of about 500 drama lessons. We are very lucky to have a set of these archival notes here in Canada at the University of Windsor Leddy Library. You can also find these archival notes at the New York Library in New York City and at the Devon Records office in England.
