Description: FOR ANYONE WHO has ever been stage-struck, even in the slightest degree (for the affliction is incurable), this informative new book raises the curtain on the world behind the world of make-believe. On one level the book is an intimate, informal record of some of the most memorable productions of the past forty years. No one else in the theatre has worked with as many great men of the theatre as Mr. Langner. His book contains recollections of George Bernard Shaw, Eugene O'Neill, Robert Sherwood, Philip Barry, Maxwell Anderson and other memorable names-playwrights, actors, designers-and provides firsthand insights into the working methods, the quirks, the peculiar genius of each. For the playwright, Mr. Langner's book is a professional guide to play con-struction, rewriting, adaptation, produc-tion, etc., with special chapters devoted to television. His observations are based on a career of unparalleled variety in the professional theatre, and, under-standably, THE PLAY'S THE THING is also a book of great interest for everyone who knows and admires Lawrence Langner's work, for those who want to learn more about the craft of the theatre, and for all who love the theatre and respond to the magic of its great names.
