The Group Theatre, a groundbreaking ensemble collective based in
New York that operated from 1931 to 1941, started the careers of
many top American theatre artists of the twentieth century and
founded what became known as Method Acting. This book is the
definitive history of the group, based on more than thirty years of
research and interviews by the foremost theatre scholar of the time
period, Helen Chinoy. She begins the story of the Group's
remarkable ten years at the end of the experiment, then resets the
narrative against the Depression years and introduces the cast of
youthful characters and their issues with the American theatre of
their day. Tracing the careers of Group Theatre actors and
directors including Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, and Harry Morgan,
Chinoy follows with their collective vision for a new theatre
developed around their grand idea for a new approach to an acting
process based on an ordered training of the actor's imagination and
emotions in exercises and in plays that confront social issues
important to the Group.
