"Essays in direct line from Stanislavsky, Chekhov, Shaw, and Brecht"
—Mike Nichols
A collection of essays from Pulitzer Prize winning playwright David Mamet adressing many issues in contemporary American theater
Temporarily putting aside his role as playwright, director, and screen-writer, David Mamet digs deep and delivers thirty outrageously diverse vignettes. On subjects ranging from the vanishing American pool hall, family vacations, and the art of being a bitch, to the role of today's actor, his celebrated contemporaries and predecessors, and his undying commitment to the theater, David Mamet's concise style, lean dialogue, and gut-wrenching honesty give us a unique view of the world as he sees it.
