How Good is David Mamet, Anyway? - Writings on Theater--and Why It Matters (Hardcover)

This text presents the best of John Heilpern's theatre writings. The players are many: Vanessa Redgrave and Ralph Fiennes; Helen Mirren and George C. Wolfe; Fiona Shaw and Savion Glover; Karen Finley and David Mamet; and many others. There is also an important essay on the differences between the British and American theatre scenes, including profiles of such legends as Noel Coward, Alec Guinness, Michael Bennett, Peter Brook and Robert Brustein. It also reviews essays on dozens of great, good and awful plays, as well as contrary opinions on some of the most widely admired playwrights. There are comic turns too: "The Year of the Penis" and "The Art of Falling Asleep at the Theatre."
