Inside the world of the playwright

One of the best books on theatre I have ever read. George Plimpton has compiled the difinitive interviews with some of the centuries most intriuging playwrights including Edward Ablee, Harold Pinter, Sam Shepard and Tennesee Williams. The questions are indepth and utterly facinating. We hear from the playwrights themselves on process, craft and thier candid opinons on the state of modern theatre. Undoubtedly the most comprehensive guide ever written into the mind of the dramatist and a must-read for anyone who has an interest in theatrical studies. Other playwrights interviewed are David Mamet, Arthur Miller, Tom Stoppard, John Guare, August Wilson, Niel Simon and retrospective into the work of Samuel Beckett.
