   Stanislavsky was an actor and director.

   He did not write any plays so he was not a playwright.

   It’s right there in wikipedia, “Constantin Sergeyevich Stanislavski (Russian: Константин Сергеевич Станиславский) (17 January [O.S. 5 January] 1863 – 7 August 1938), was a Russian actor and theatre director.”

   If you want the original sources just scroll down to the bottom of the article and you’ll get the list of sources.
