Dustin Hoffman, George C. Scott, Geraldine Page, Jason Robards—where did these legends first get their act together? At a magical New York theatre company called Circle in the Square.
For over half a century, this remarkable theatre has been redefining what American theatre is all about, and behind it all, a primary driving force from the very start was Theodore Mann. "Journeys in the Night: Creating a New American Theatre with Circle in the Square," published by Applause Theatre & Cinema Books, is Theodore Mann's fascinating memoir of his and Circle's intertwined history, bringing to life once again key moments in American theatre.
As befits a story about theatre, "Journeys in the Night" is at times comic and at times tragic. But if you ever wondered how Off-Broadway ever came to be (and how it ever managed to survive), this is the tale to read.
