Title: See today's theater before it is relegated to a book.
Product review: We could not all be born into the era of the emergence of the American Theatre Guild. However we can use this book as a time machine to capture the essence of what was. This book captures this time from its beginnings in 1928 up to 1939. We get to experience unemployment, left wing movements, The New Deal, and the threat of war. And at the same time "Morning Becomes Electra", "Porgy and Bess", "Idiot's Delight", and even "Oklahoma."The book is broken up into chronological chapters with a few well take pictures distributed throughout. A picture from Idiot's Delight (Lynn Fontanne, Alfred Lunt) is on the front cover. The Appendixes contains 99 play bills.You can tell from the tone of the authors writing that the Guild was his life.
