Self-made impresario, controversial producer, contentious champion
of human rights and the First Amendment, founder of the New York
Shakespeare Festival, and unquestionably the most dynamic force in
American theatre in the last quarter century, Joseph Papp
(1921-1991) changed forever America's cultural landscape. He was
the first to demand and to provide,against enormous odds,free
Shakespeare to the public, and the first to pioneer colourblind
casting and minority-group theatre. He discovered and showcased at
the Public theatre playwrights like David Rabe, John Guare, and
Vaclav Havel directors like Michael Bennet and James Lapine actors
like Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and Denzel Washington
and produced such classic American plays as Hair, Sticks and Bones,
Streamers, The Normal Heart , and A Chorus Line, the longest
running musical in Broadway history. Joe Papp offers readers a
compassionate, unsparing portrait of a complex man who inspired
both anger and admiration, but whose far-reaching impact on
American theatre remains unsurpassed.
