Mason worked together on 38 productions over a 23-year period (1964-1987) and were cofounders of the Circle Repertory Company of New York in 1969. This book explores that collaboration fully, through interviews with Wilson, Mason and members of the Circle Rep. Drafts of scripts, and reviews and articles on the plays and the men, reveal the lyric realism that both Wilson and Mason say underlies their work. Includes an examination of each play the two worked on (particularly the so-called Talley series) and a comparison of the forms and themes.
