This review is from: Playwrights, lyricists, composers on theater: The inside story of a decade of theater in articles and comments by its authors, selected from their own publication, the Dramatists Guild quarterly (Hardcover)

Informative hardback filled with beautiful sketch renderings to add a theatrical flavour. The first of two such published works edited by Otis Guernsey Jnr. Packed with the opinions of Broadway Professionals as varied as Lillian Hellman and Richard Rodgers. The final chapter -"Criticising The Critics" is a very interesting Revenge! Sondheim's essay on Theatre Lyrics is a must. This is a brilliant book.
