This review is from: Jean-Claude Van Itallie and the Off-Broadway Theater (Hardcover)

A detailed look at the life and works of a playwright who seeks to reinvent and add life to drama, experimenting with a wide variety of dramatic structures and treatments. As a dramatist who often gets inspiration from the pulse of society and who sees theater as having a therapeutic effect on social problems, Van Italie is a fascinating figure. I'd like to find more about this writer/playwright. The book only whetted my appetite for more.
