Now published in the Bloomsbury Revelations series, this is a
classic work on the power and importance of drama by renowned
American playwright, screenwriter and essayist David Mamet. In this
short but arresting series of essays, David Mamet explains the
necessity, purpose and demands of drama. A celebration of the ties
that bind art to life, Three Uses of the Knife is an enthralling
read for anyone who has sat anxiously waiting for the lights to go
up on Act 1. In three tightly woven essays of characteristic force
and resonance, Mamet speaks about the connection of art to life,
language to power, imagination to survival, public spectacle to
private script. Self-assured and filled with autobiographical
touches Three Uses of the Knife is a call to art and arms, a
manifesto that reminds us of the singular power of the theatre to
keep us sane, whole and human.
