- catalog abstract ""In two acts that consider what the theatre is and what it does, a star-studded cast of intellects, wits and wags here take center stage, to enlighten, provoke and amuse. Among them are thinkers from Plato and Aristotle to Freud and Sartre, playwrights from Shakespeare and Shaw to Harold Pinter and Suzan-Lorie Parks, actors from Edwin Booth and Sarah Bernhardt to John Gielgud and Marilyn Monroe. In effect, they have conversation across the centuries, exchanging views on such subjects as writing and directing a play, becoming an actor, experiencing rehearsals, enduring opening nights, transcending critics, interacting with the audience and surviving (or dying) in the theatre." "With about 900 distinctive anecdotes, aphorisms, adages and assaults, this unique treasury will appeal equally to anyone who has sat in an auditorium enjoying a live performance and to those who have worked to create one on the stage - whether as professionals or amateurs, or if only in their dreams."--Jacket.".
