Description
The Fervent Years: The Group Theatre and the Thirties By Harold Clurman This is the story of the Group Theatre, a pivotal moment in American theatre history. Founded by Harold Clurman, the group's innovative approach to drama had a lasting impact on the industry. Through its productions, the Group explored topical issues of the decade, giving creative freedom to actors, directors, and playwrights who sought change from traditional commercial theatre. Clurman's book re-creates this period in American theatre, drawing on his own experiences as producer-director-critic for over 50 years. The result is a detailed account of the Group's history, including its key figures such as Lee Strasberg, Elia Kazan, and Clifford Odets. A new introduction by Stella Adler adds further insight into this tumultuous decade. This book offers a unique perspective on the development of American drama in the 1930s, making it an essential read for anyone interested in theatre history.
