Review
“I have a long debt to Robert Brustein. Early on, he was good and generous to me. Most encouraging in person and in print. He gave me work as an actor in some of the best work I have done. He is a director/ theatre mgr./ actor/ author/ playwright and most excellent and graceful critic. Robert Brustein loves the theatre and the people who make it.”–Chris Walken
“...Theoretically, Bob and I agreed about absolutely nothing except our mutual desire to put on my plays--how wonderful. I owe him a great debt, and I am glad to have this book as a guide to those very interesting years of his in Cambridge and New Haven.”–David Mamet
“Marilyn Plotkins' book is an impressive achievement, and will surely be a great resource to scholars studying the artists and plays it covers....Beyond its scholarly and documentary importance, it is, for anyone who knows (and loves) the ART, a walk down memory lane.”–Michael Wilson, Artistic Director Hartford Stage
