5.0 out of 5 stars The Life of the Theatre, September 2, 2000

This review is from: The Life of the Theatre (Paperback)
The Living Theatre was and continues to be a radical theatre collective who approaches their art as a medium for social change and commentary. The Life of the Theare is a collection of Julian Beck's journals in the 1960s and early 70s. The book chronicles Beck's thoughts on theatre and social change as they intersect and diverge and as he struggles to make a theatre of meaning--theatre worthy of its participants and spectators.

Contemporary readers will find some of the rhetoric a bit dated, but there is no doubt that the goals of Julian Beck and the Living Theatre remain as vital today as at the group's founding over 40 years ago. This book is a must read for all artists and activists alike.
