Book Description:
|
This book takes a critical look at one of the twentieth century's most influential playwrights from the viewpoint of those whose job it is to give the work life on stage. From personal experience of over seventy productions, from numerous interviews with actors and directors, and in a rare conversation with the playwright, Kalb addresses the fundamental questions of whether the role of the performers and audience is different from that of performing other forms of theatre.
