Sisters in Sin

Broadway Talks
by Arvid F. Sponberg
The volume treats the reader to a comprehensive view of American commercial theater and how it operates. It provides a unique view of what some of the movers and shakers in the commercial theater think about the state of their business. With one exception, none of the people interviewed has ever before had an extended opportunity to discuss, for the record, the nature of their work, especially those aspects that are usually ignored by the media. Those interviewed made comments on four broad topics: their personal background and key experiences in the theater; their views on the present state of financing, production, writing, casting, directing and designing; their insights into day-to-day theatrical management; and their opinions on proposed changes in theatrical practices.

Like New. Hardcover. Stated 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1986 Times Books. Superclean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. Only a hint of shelfwear; appears unread. Gift-giving condition. 346pp, Index. Language: English. 'London theater critic Nightingale spent the 1983-84 Broadway season as the weekly critic for the New York Times. This readable journal records his impressions of the productions he saw and provides a valuable European perspective on the state of theater in New York. While far from outstanding, the season saw such notable works as The Real Thing, Glengarry Glen Ross, and Sunday in the Park with George, as well as the first performances in the United States by the Living Theatre in 2 decades. Nightingale's most perceptive and interesting comments, however, deal with the financial woes of American theater, which he believes can only be alleviated by public funding.'--Susan Thach Dean, Library Journal, 1986.
