The Spectator: Talk About Movies and Plays with the People Who Make Them

Rating:
Summary: Celebrate The Arts, Guided By A Master
Review: Any reading of this book must be deeply personal. For me, tears often came in reaction to the sheer beauty of thoughts and deeds expressed by Studs Terkel and his interviewees. Hopefully the book will spark a theatre renaissance. No matter how large your village, town, or city, there is a need for a theatre of the people. Models described in the book can spur you into activity. Highlights of more than 55 interviews are given! My favorites: those with Arthur Miller, Ruth Gordon, Jonathon Miller, Moms Mabley, Uta Hagen, Edward Albee, and Eugene Ionesco. You will be compelled to share the book, possibly by reading aloud in turn with a companion.
