Robert Hatch's critical life spanned five decades. Starting in 1947
and continuing until 1984, he wrote about drama (and film) for The
New Republic, The Nation, Theatre Arts, The Reporter, and Horizon.
Along with John Simon, Robert Brustein, Richard Gilman, and Stanley
Kauffmann, Hatch was one of the most potent, influential authors in
the New York school of twentieth-century American arts criticism.
With style and erudition Open Hatch discusses plays and productions
from the following countries: England, the United States, France,
Russia, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Czechoslovakia,
Norway, Greece, and Australia. Among the many works discussed are
The Master Builder, by Henrik Ibsen; The Three Sisters, by Anton
Chekhov; Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, by Tennessee Williams; The
Bourgeois Gentleman, by Molière; The Iceman Cometh, by Eugene
O'Neill; Measure for Measure, by William Shakespeare; The Good
Woman of Setzuan, by Bertolt Brecht; Exiles, by James Joyce;
Endgame, by Samuel Beckett; The Blacks, by Jean Genet; The
Caretaker, by Harold Pinter; Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, by
Edward Albee; Dutchman, by LeRoi Jones; and Leonce and Lena, by
Georg Büchner. Also included in Open Hatch are articles on the
following subjects: the idea of repertory; the Living Theatre; the
Actors' Studio; Broadway and Off-Broadway; melodrama; and scene
design. In addition, one may find in this rich collection
bio-critical pieces on such figures as Tyrone Guthrie, Orson
Welles, and John Arden. The precision, wit, and wisdom of Hatch's
writing chime in Open Hatch, as he reveals his sense of cultural
mission - and love of all the arts - by applying to theater and
drama the same high standards that are applied to fiction, poetry,
art, and music.
